Wow thanks so much for this feedback. It's the underside of what
happens sometimes when we listen to words. Even when people use the
right words, even when they mention the effective strategies and so on,
we actually HAVE TO SEE IT IN USE, SEE THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CHILDREN
AND TEACHERS, SEE THE MATERIALS AND SO ON TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REAL. I
have so so many times talked with people who truly believe they are
"something," e.g. a whole language teacher or a constructivist or a
whatever, and when I watch them teach I don't see that at all. That's
why we need deep rich experiences, seeing lots of examples, thinking
critically, thinking critically with others,trying things ourselves and
so on.......
I was afraid of something like this. So the book sounded good but....

I worked in it for three years and did I see students improve??—sure
but
not at the cost of real reading and the program. Read Right is very
expensive with the training and library. To me it makes more sense to
put
the money to people and rich literature.
Please encourage people not by programs it just smothers our
profession. I
almost quit teaching because of this! Thank God I got a new position.
One
of the reasons why was because I asked too many questions about this
program. The owner of RR did not like me. Hmmmm
Please look at other things. Any questions let me know!
