Thanks for the suggestion of the REWARDS program. Just to clarify....we are not looking to imbed a program into the curriculum -- we are targeting specific groups of students based on data so we can meet the needs a specific groups of students.

I hesitated to reply as Judy did, as I don't use it as a 'phonics' program, as Michelle asked. When students have particular areas of need, I'll target those with speed drills or sorts as well as word work. I have had great success with my middle school students and Rewards and am looking forward to seeing how the growth transfers when we do the last round of Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessments.

I am retiring this year after 35 wonderful years of teaching. Over the years I have collected many (100++) professional books. One of my goals for retirement is to clean out my house so naturally I need to send these books to new homes. Does anyone know of a website or a way to sell these books? I have thought of putting them all on Library Thing so people could look at them and then purchase them. Is there a better way?

I don't know if that is still published in this country and whether it has been changed over the years. The parent resource had just the sort of description you are looking for. There were also suggestions for parents about what they could do to support their child's literacy development at each stage. In fact, the curriculum had a whole book called Parents as Partners. If you can't find these materials, I may have a print copy of some of the parent materials and could copy and mail it to you if you send me your address off the list. --Ellen At 12:19 AM -0400 5/22/11, Conner-Righter, Mary wrote: >I have that book, but the continuums are a little different from what I'm >looking for.

I would appreciate any real research to practice advice on this. So far, I honestly have not found their continuums as helpful as claimed and think I must be missing something as they are referred to all the time both on this listserve and in the literature. Thank- you.
