[LIT] NYC Middle School Reading

[Heather Gottlieb]

Lori,

My understanding is that the NYC Dept. of Education
has mandated Balanced Literacy as the reading/writing
program.  I don't remember all the specifics, but I
know there is variation among schools.  (There are
over 1,200 public schools in New York City).  Some
schools use the America's Choice Ramp-Up program.  My
school uses Reading and Writing Workshop (Teachers'
College R + W Project) pretty much exclusively.  Hope
that helps.
