I cannot recommend Wonders since I have not seen it. I was curious about
it as I am just wondering what resources are out there that might meet
the common core, but go deeper into comprehension and close reading,
etc... My daughter was using Treasures, it is a Macmillan/McGraw -Hill
series. It looks exactly like the Harcourt series I was using when
teaching in another town. Oh, and I now work in the same district that
my daughter goes to school in. Sorry I left that out as I can see how
that would have been confusing.

So are you recommending Wonder Reading Program. Is this the program
your daughters school used or did her school use a different reading
series? Sorry I am a little confused.

What grades does this program cover? Would it replace a reading
series? I am a reading specialist/coach for a 4-6 school in Mass. I
was at an open house for my own child at the grade 7-8 school last
night and they mentioned how they can really see what our students
lack using the reading series we have. My daughter happens to be in
the first class that has used it since 1st grade and they can see it.
We need to change something for sure. Wondering what is out there
that is common core aligned, meaningful and effective for the
students.

Yes, we purchased the Wonders program county wide. It has been an
eye
opener for sure. If this is an indicator on text complexity by
grade I am
glad we have this resource. We are taking our time and really
"thinking"
through the text modeling voice and close reading: rereading and
rereading
a lot. The big thing for us is the lack of back ground knowledge our
students have for the test questions. We are determined to test
using the
"cold reads" I expect we are all on learning curve here. If you need
extra
resources contact me. I have the Lexile conversions....

We started this August, haven't received most of the materials and
don't
have smart boards or tablets. It has been a bumpy ride.

Anyone out there use this program? We just bought it at our
school and
have lots of organizational issues. It is very overwhelming and
wanted to
know if anyone else uses this program.
Thanks
