I have hesitation in suggesting one program meets our needs more so than the other.  I do feel that our grade level teams know what they need and want and are our best experts in terms of making choices for their individual grade levels.  However, I also am concerned that we haven't had enough time to review the programs sufficiently enough across grade levels to ensure completeness of programming as well as perfect alignment (utilizing the expertise of our reading ladies.)  With that said, if we are simply using the programming as one of many tools in our classroom instruction, that might not necessarily be our greatest concern.

Of course, I am always thoughtful about our struggling readers and what a program will offer them as well, especially at the primary level.  It is my hope that we would explore and consider their needs as we make further decisions regarding the components of the program that we place at high priority for purchase, regardless of the program chosen.

I do want to add that I have had personal experiences recently with working through customer service with Pearson and it really was not a positive experience initially. Once I was connected to John (our initial speaker from Pearson and our Warwick sales rep), things turned around for the better. Just another thing to consider in the decision making process.

# data[].attributes.body
- I like the intervention component, especially since two of our current programs are out of print
- The literature is high quality
- The manual seemed a little tricky to follow, but I would like a little more time to explore a lesson to see if it is more user-friendly than I initially thought

# data[].attributes.body
- I like the 8 different resource opportunities per week.
- PA Core aligned
- online resources with home/family access
- I like the social/emotional component
- we need to continue to build our book rooms to ensure that we have leveled readers for all learners

# data[].attributes.body
-Student-centered resources
-Culturally responsive literature
-Social/emotional learning opportunities
-Digital Capability (any device)
-PA Core Standards-Aligned
-Close Reading Texts

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Jenn.

Pearson

·      From the texts that I reviewed, I think Pearson has higher quality literature.

McGraw Hill

·      better online support

·      families can access literature at home

We need to consider how we are going to differentiate for learners with leveled readers.

Trade book lessons in specifically 6th grade offer rigor, text complexity, and high interest. Background videos for the lessons in grade 3-6 afford story comparisons and build background schema

# data[].attributes.body
-Aligned to PA Core standars
-Big books, trade books, leveled readers more diverse and visually appealing
-online component seemed to function better and be easier to navigate.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe there is not ample time to compare the two in depth as both programs are similar in both set up and nature.
-When we looked in depth-Pearson's leveled readers offer a higher text complexity and higher interest level since they were not contrived to meet a certain level in order to be equitable
-Pearson, as well as Wonders offers flexible resources and digital aspects (interactive, video, audio)
-I feel Wonders presented better, but we were not given enough time to delve into both resources to compare them fairly

# data[].attributes.body
I believe we need to enhance our classroom classroom libraries- as teachers put that as a need across the board in our needs assessment survey.. and neither of these programs offers a large amount of high interest leveled readers to fill our classroom libraries.

# data[].attributes.body
The contributing authors of the program's text, as well as the research/collaborative force behind this program are progressive leaders in both literacy and educational practices; Morrell, Cummins, Heibert, Vaugn, Serafini- with expertise in:
-leveled texts
-differentiation
-close reading
-student engagement and choice
-balanced literacy, literature circles
-21st century learning
-phonics and foundational reading skills

# data[].attributes.body
Just to clarify this program does have PA CCSS alignment, as well....

# data[].attributes.body
- aligned to PA Core standards
- ease of use for both teachers and students
- integration of content topics
- expansive collection of high quality children's literature across genres
- equitable leveled & paired readers

* Rigor
* Resources that can be updated
* Weekly supported with  Science and Social Studies
* Social/Emotional connection
* EL resource for each lesson at 3 levels
* word sorts built in
* overall a meatier, organized, user friendly, engaging program
* skills, lessons, instruction, pacing all make sense (the program matches what students are ready for and able to do in the classroom)

# data[].attributes.body
The Pearson program has an intervention strand that I think would be very worthwhile.
*Now that it’s been clarified that MyView is aligned with the PA CCSS, we need to re-evaluate the Pearson program.

# data[].attributes.body
- PA Core Alignment
- break down skills on various assessments
- teacher manual seems very user-friendly and layout allows for flexibility
- many genres match our current WSD curriculum so transfer will be smoother

-since we'll be more digital in the future, the online component is much more user friendly, and possibly reliable?
-will already be aligned to PA Core
-online assessments can break down skills
-text selections seem to be more engaging and fit well with our themes already
-lots of differentiation options
-better layout and seems to be easier to pick and choose things to use

I agree with everything that Andrea said. Plus...
- the leveled readers are the same text, but differentiated
- the paired texts cover two different genres
- the questioning techniques are very much like what students encounter on standardized tests
- everything is very visually appealing

McGraw Hill Wonders
•better layout/design for finding resources
•easier to pick and choose materials to use
•aligned to PA Core rather than Common Core
•titles and genres better aligned to our Warwick curriculum
