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

Robert E. Land and Margaret Moustafa
