This is our first year for implementing the 1st Grade Kit. It is showing very steady gains for most children. Personally, I am finding for a few strugglers, it is moving too quickly and we are using more direct phonics work. It does seem to meet the rigor of Common Core. There are a ton of resources and it is very well organized. I would suggest if more than one bldg. is getting it, conduct one master print job then divide resources amongst buildings. We found that giant three ring binders work best. Good luck! I do see they have a new kit for upper grades coming this June!

It is best to use the F/P benchmark assessments as well. The LLI system doe shave a built in running record assessment component. ________________________________________ From: Mosaic [[email protected]] on behalf of Davidson, Ann (Bourbon County) [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 12:01 PM To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Fountas&Pinnell LLI As someone who works with RtI, what is the reasoning for only doing third grade?

We are considering ordering the Blue second grade level of LLI to use with students who are in third grade and significantly behind in reading. I would like to hear from those who have experience with this program. What are the pros and cons? Did you supplement the program with a more direct instruction phonics program? Is the benchmark assessment really a necessary component or could you get similar information using other assessments of reading we currently have? This forum offers great discussion. I look forward to any info you can share about LLI and would be happy to receive replies on or off the forum. Thanks! Nicole Nicole Power, M.S., M.Ed.
