Let's not forget that people are looking for ideas from schools who are using 
programs that work.  I simply shared something that is working in my building.  
You don't have to agree what we use, but I shared it.  Maybe I don't understand 
what this listserv is for.  I would like to be removed from this list, as I do 
not want to be treated, or responded to disrespectfully!

Subject: [MOSAIC] phonics program

I am going to make a bold move here and say that Ellin Keene does not believe 
in scripted programs for phonics or any other aspect of reading!!!!!!  I seem 
to be in the minority at this point, but I am so disheartened by the 
conversation on this listserv.  The word "Mosaic" really should be taken out of 
the title of the listserv.  We used to talk about how teachers were putting 
together their own lessons for comprehension.  Now, we're talking about 
scripted phonics programs?????   Thank you Renee for bringing back the 
researcher/practitioner - Ellin Keene - into this conversation!

I cannot help but wonder what Ellin Keene thinks of a scripted phonics program.
