[MOSAIC] advice on phonics minilessons

[Deb Green]

Fountas & Pinnell have a Comprehension book that is quite extensive
that deals with all of the MOT strategies. Their phonics books for
each grade level take on the "assessment" driven model of teaching.
It is not canned and it takes some time to get started - However one
easy and very quick way to get started is to use their monthly
continuum, and offer those lessons.  The CD that accompanies their
phonics book makes creating all the lessons a snap and it allows for
the creation of your own words and is open ended to make the games
using what ever words you want.
