That's what I found about HM when I was in elem. HM has you teach one different strategy per week. Another thing about the text is that even though they don't chop up a story, the illustrations don't match the text often. They move the illustrations around to fit in the anthology. If you look at the original book, the illustrations match the text, so the kids can use the illustrations as cues to access the print. I was not allowed to improvise. I was told to teach by pacing guide to be kept by date. I actually decided to change to middle school because of the experience.
Hopefully, you will have the freedom to add or subtract to the program as you feel is appropriate.
