I am not familiar with that program, but we just purchased Literacy materials from Developmental Studies Center that is all based on the strategies and the workshop model...in the lower graded it is only a few days a week to allow for a skills based program to be used as well...I really love it, it includes all the mentor text and also teaches social skills...you should see if they would pilot that program as well. Franklin School District in the southern part of the state just purchased it as well and they did a lot of research and piloted several programs. Hope this helps somehow. I would really recommend it...everything that is stressed in MOT is pretty much in this program and it really aligns well with the Common Core...

Our district is piloting it in K-2 for reading. It seems to be a very skills-based program that doesn't place a lot of emphasis on self-selected program I teach 4th grade and we are already concerned about the great word-callers that we have with poor comprehenders. Not sure this program will prepare our kids for what they really need Also, I wonder how it aligns to the Common Core.. Thanks.
