I guess I don’t understand how burst (mclass) fits with the science of reading when the 10 days lessons are all over the place . In a days plan, the students are learning multiple skills, which are on all on different levels . I could have one lesson teaching the word “as” and then the next is reading a play called “the cupcake conundrum” . It honestly seems like mclass is just burst with a different name on it, and I have to say I’m really disappointed with amplify selling this product under the guise of it being based on the science of reading when in all actuality it’s clearly an old (failing) program that was clearly created prior to this whole SOR push.
