Hi all - I'd like to ask a question that affects everyone interested in teaching comprehension, especially in a release to independence format. Do any of you know of any instances where schools have adopted Reading Mastery or another Direct Instruction program and have been forced to eliminate the use of trade books in classrooms (or, alternately, very limited participation in a library program) in order to use comprehension strategies (or other strategies, actually) in the classroom? I think I remember someone on this list serve saying that the principal and curriculum director came by and loaded up all the trade books so they didn't "confuse" the K, 1, and maybe 2 grade students. Help, please.
