    This program does not belong in the middle schools
    unless it is paired with best practice including but not
    limited to Common Assessments driven by state bench
    marks. Middle school kids sitting on a rug in a secondary
    setting does not promote growth and maturity socially or
    emotionally. Some students continue baby talk along with
    immature behaviors and I believe treating them like
    elementary students is NOT conducive to overall growth.
    This program is not necessary to achieve a love for books
    and deeper understandings of text.
    Fountas and Pinnell should NOT be a sole curriculum.
