[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason stuff like Wilson Foundations isn't on there?[/quote]

That's what I want to know! Or Wit and Wisdom, or really any approved curriculum.[/quote]

Wit and Wisdom is such a slog. We use it in my district and it is not appropriate for K-2 IMO. The lessons are 90 minutes long and even if you break it in half, the kids grown when you bring out the same book for the 4th, 5th and 6th read. [/quote]

Agreed--that's the issue with science sometimes--it tracks what it studies (growth in targeted reading skills) and not what it doesn't (how much kids hate it).

Also, approved by who and with what criteria? For instance,
Wit & Wisdom is approved by Colorado as only a supplemental curriculum and as not including foundations by edreports.org

Superkids is approved by Colorado, and ranked quite low by edreports.org

Does anyone have experience  with Core Knowledge Language Arts or Into Reading?  These both score higher on multiple reviewers than Benchmark.
Also, something I know is important in FCPS is that everything has to meet the Universal Design for Learning standards and some curricular materials are still clunky/non-compliant with that.
