Kendra, My contact information is: Kelly Alexander Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Lansingburgh Central School District Turnpike Elementary School Troy, NY 518-233-6822 ext. 4130 [email protected] Please feel free to contact me if that is more convenient.
I can email you the data for our school demonstrating the September-January progress. We are an urban school district, diverse, high needs, large economically disadvantaged population, 19% special education....you get the picture. I'm not sure what your demographics look like, but if you think the comparison data might be useful, I can send it. I would also be happy to hook you up with the right people at Mondo. We dealt with the vice president...Stephen Perplulek....He was AWESOME to us. If you decide that your district might be interested in looking at the program, I will forward your information IF you would like me to. ________________________________ From: Kendra Carroll <[email protected]> To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, March 25, 2010 9:58:07 AM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Reading textbook suggestions "We just adopted a leveled text program, and our students are making great progress. The program is called Benchmark, and it is a MONDO publication (small company based in NYC). Additionally, the company provides outstanding professional development as part of the program, and they are outstanding to work with. Look them up online." Does anyone know how this program is alike and different from the Leveled Literacy Intervention by Fountas and Pinnell? A school is our system is using LLI and a couple of the schools I work for are interested in it. However, if there is something equivalent that costs less or better, I would love to know about it. Thanks!
