So what is it that they do??? Or is that all secret? Why wouldn't you be allowed to do shared reading? Or are you? Can you do comprehension work? Their materials stress that they do both "fluency" and "comprehension." Are you allowed to work with the children on writing? All this "exclusiveness" is kind of troubling. I am most anxious to know what the strategies actually are.
Another thing that confuses me - it is supposedly an approach that works all ages....through adults. And they also have a parent program. So if parents can do it, why wouldn't a regular teacher at least be able to supplement In the classroom when the kids come back....or during other literacy times of the day? Thanks for any info you can still find out.... Sally On 12/8/08 6:42 PM, "Chris and Teresa Casart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Read Right must be the new "big thing."
