Anyone have Houghton-Mifflin reading series??

Our district invested millions into a whole new reading series to increase student prformance for NCLB- we are a DINI district/school.

I am having such a hard time with understanding this series.

we all have a 90 minutes ELA block where we are supposed to do 50-60 min whole class work in the basal then do leveled groups/ centers that rotate within 30 minutes.


If you work with this series, please let me know. I could use a seasoned teacher of this series to grasp them centers concept....thanks

I used it when I worked in MD for two years. What would you like help with?

Re: Anyone have Houghton-Mifflin reading series??

I have no idea how to set up the schedule for centers.

We were told to use the baseline tests to group the students but then how do you actually carry out each day's worth of plans?

Re: Anyone have Houghton-Mifflin reading series??

Are you doing reading first??? I used that series last year with reading first you can also access the resources online too

Re: Anyone have Houghton-Mifflin reading series??

I dont know what reading first is?

Ps- I just love working for a district that implemented a whole new series that all teachers need to teach the same thing on the same day BUT only gave 2 hours of training on
