[MOSAIC] Comprehension strategies and Rigby

[Lisa Szyska]

Hi,

Our district is considering Rigby's Literacy By
Design.  It definitely uses the Mosaic language, but
I'd like to hear from some of you who actually use it.
 I understand that it is the teacher, not the
materials that are important when teaching
comprehension, but it would still be nice to hear some
first hand accounts of strengths/weaknesses.  It looks
to me that the main strength is the amount of
nonfiction text (about 50%) and the number of guided
reading books.  The rest of it looks pretty generic. 
What am I missing?
thanks in advance,
Lisa
