I was not saying that phonics was not important. I think phonics is very important in learning to decode. I thought the question was if the Fountas and Pinnel program supported the comprehension strategies. No I don't think it supports the strategies but can be used in tandem with the strategies. However, that particular program's organization is horrible, and does take a lot of preparation. I think there are better resources out there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Long" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Listserv" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 7:46 AM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] advice on phonics minilessons
