what does your school use to teach reading

Does your school have a reading series it uses? Is it phonics based? Do you require students to read at a certain DRA level to enter first and to promote from first? We have a series I like, but others are saying our phonics is weak, we have too many struggling readers....thinking about changing and need your thoughts please.

Polly We use leveled books to teach reading and supplement it with a phonics program called Zoophonics which includes spelling. It is a wonderful program! Google it...you will love it.

jo/ma For phonics and spelling, we use a modified version of the Wilson Program. For reading, we use Harcourt Trophies stories, Scholastic News, and Benchmark Books.

Brittany We use a reading series called Scott Foresman's Reading Street. We also use a phonics program called Saxon Phonics. I strongly believe in the Saxon program and believe it helps children learn how to read. Also websites such as starfall.com are helpful with phonics practice!
