Caley and Jackie: Walkabout Results

School's Beliefs: - Mixed feelings: It does not have a set go-to program that works for all kids - The special ed./replacement teachers pull from different resources based on individual needs

Reading Programs Used in Replacement (what they called resource) & Advantages/Disadvantages: - Reading Milestones- use a lot of repetition to build phonics skills - SRA- focuses on decoding skills; effective for teaching phonetics through the first 3 books - Guided Reading (Fountas & Pinnel): used mainly for exposure to grade/level appropriate texts & letters - Fundations: Tier 3 whole class instruction - Harcourt (sometimes used): Specific vocabulary skills - Reading A-Z: leveled readers, focuses more on comprehension/writing/phonics
 * Guided Reading: Lack of structure, lack of grades, hard to move up a level, hard to get a true measurement of grade appropriate abilities
 * Fundations/Wilson: Direct instruction through the use of flash cards

Teacher's Beliefs: - "Things that work and have worked become a part of how I teach" - Mixed feelings: pull from a lot of different favorite resources - Progress isn't exactly "fast" but can often be seen in a year =Welcome to Your New Wiki!=
