Re: [MOSAIC] Phonics program

My son's kindergarten class uses Rowland Reading Program and he loves it. It introduces letter and sounds as a "Superkid" character, integrating each superkid into reading and writing, and emphasizes blending the letter sounds all throughout the program. As a former first grade teacher, it reall

Re: [MOSAIC] academic transition classrooms

In response to: That way reading can be taught all day long with more help in that one particular classroom? Um reading being taught all day? No other subjects? I'm confused. What about equal access to the curriculum? My school district is unique in the fact that each grade level is at a

[MOSAIC] academic transition classrooms

[MOSAIC] assessment and data

[MOSAIC] data collection for analysis

What types of data does your schools collect for anaylsis? My district is using Aimsweb, but I am thinking that other forms of data may be helpful when looking at interventions for our struggling students. My district no longer gives the DRA, either. Jeana Wise K-4 Literacy Coach jw
