Our district has begun using the Pearson materials. What I really like about the program is that it integrates reading, writing, and word study in a consistent manner. There is more material than you could ever teach in a school year and is great for beginning teachers. Not so great for those of us who got a master's degree in literacy. But I do like the fact that everyone in the district is now teaching word study and the same topics in writing. There are always pluses and minuses to every program it seems.
