FYI/crosspost: Some reading curriculum review websites

[Guest guest]

Howdy,

I might have posted the Oregon Reading First info before, but I came across

another website that has evaluations of many common and popular reading

instruction programs, as well as guides to the components of reading and

teaching reading. There's some interesting info and it could be helpful for

comparison.

FYI:

" A Consumer's Guide to Evaluating a Core Reading Program Grades K-3: A Critical

Elements Analysis, 3/2003; Deborah C. , J. Kame'enuil

(mostly a tool for evaluators of curricula, but gives the specific areas

considered necessary for skilled reading and areas of emphasis for K-3)
