[LIT] anyone using Hampton Brown's Edge?

[ljackson]

We used the Edge this past year with a limited number of students in an
intervention classroom.  The teacher using it got it late in the year, so
about half a year of implementation.  She LOVED IT, the kids loved it.  We
will be using the higher level for our incoming freshman this year (about
60% are below grade level) and expanding its use in our RtI classroom.  The
RtI will utilize a team teaching (English Teacher/Reading Teacher) in an A/B
format that will also allow the students to meet in extended blocks for an
entire year, earning a semester's credit in freshman English and one in
reading.  I am excited to see it fully implemented.

Michael Smith was involved in the development--I would certainly reading
Reading Don't Fix No Chevys  and Going With the Flow.
