[MOSAIC] Fountas and Pinnell

[SPINELLO, Carol]

Hi Does anyone use the Fountas and Pinnell phonics/word study program?
We want to order the word and picture cards but we are not sure if they
are valuable and worth the money.

I had the same experience.  There are several ways to buy books from
this organization.  We bought many sets of 6 through their Title One
program when we started guiding reading just to have books.  Some are
really good and some are not.  You can review each book online and
choose the ones you want.  

Their books are not "free" due to the shipping charges.  You also have
to be careful with the large quantities of books they offer.  Many are
second hand and you don't know what the condition is until you receive
them.  

My advice is to investigate thoroughly before purchasing.  We have
bought them, but we took our time and bought specific titles.
