[MOSAIC] new basal adoption

[Steve and Marla Austin]

I am fairly new to this list. I don't know if it is proper protocol for me
to jump in on this discussion.   I would love to know more about the current
perspectives on reading and the debates.  I infer from your email that there
are two main schools of thought.  I am always looking for current best
practice in reading.  I am familiar with MOT and the proficient reader
strategies.  Is this one of the two perspectives?  I am going to do some
reading up on Reading First and the University of Oregon just so I can be
familiar with that perspective.
