The absolute worst part that I found with SFA is that because it's supposed to be successful for all, there's nothing in place for those that aren't successful. That being said, my personal opinion is that it is very scripted and holds no appeal for students. If students aren't reading or at least exposed to literature in some manner or another, trade books or even in an anthology I don't see where any motivation to learn to read will occur.
Hope that this helps!

I know very little about the program, except that J. Kozel thinks it's really awful for kids. Does anyone on here know about it, and have any advice on how I can begin to wrap my head around this?
