My district has adopted a scripted language arts program.
While the program is good and emphasises the key comprehension
strategies I miss using student interests, need and strengths to plan
lessons. I have been doing some investigating about scripted
programs. Two articles I have found are "Scripted Reading Programs:
Fishing for Success by Deborah Duncan-Owens in the Jan/Feb 2009
Principal and
Are Scripted Reading Instruction Programs a Benefit or a Bane?:
A research response
Robert E. Land and Margaret Moustafa
California State University Los Angeles
Both discuss the positives and negative.
I hope this helps,
Joanne/2nd/Ohio
