[quote=Anonymous]Back to the original topic, the Units of Study were never meant to be used as a comprehensive program. They are a resource for teaching reading and writing to students. There are only 4 units per grade so of course, the teacher will need to supplement with phonemic awareness and phonics in addition to what is covered in the units. They are not intended as a program for students that have reading issues such as Dyslexia or significant learning disabilities. That is where your programs like Wilson and other targeted programs come in. Reading is not one size fits all. The UOS do get kids thinking critically about what they read and get most kids reading more. Reading doesn't occur in a vacuum either- all phonics in isolation does not a reader make. [/quote]
