[MOSAIC] Accelerated Reading

[Beverlee Paul]

Thanks for the article; it's a keeper.  However, unaddressed in the article 
is the belief that ALL reading programs, etc. can be used effectively IF the 
teacher is caring, etceteras.  Unfortunately, I believe some reading 
programs (used with FIDELITY, of course) are mutually exclusive to 
establishing positive relationships.  There are some programs that just 
plain make it impossible to treat a student with respect.  Love, maybe, on 
the part of the teachers, but can the child get it in the environment set up 
by some reading programs?




 > I totally agree with your statement - any program can be ineffective if
 > there is an ineffective teacher or leader.

Here's a great article addressing that:
