Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I will go with library books. That feels right. I shop at a local bookstore that is run by former teachers. It is a GREAT store. They actually have a website and you can order from it. Teachers get I think it's 25% but it might be 20% off all the time. They have leveled sets, author sets, etc. And whenever I go I just have to ask them what they suggest for a certain type of student, and they know what to show me! They are great.

I'll also look at Scholastic for the books, but I haven't seen the ones I want recently. On 9/23/06, Lisa M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would also go for the library books.

Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; nations perish; civilizations grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts of the hearts of men centuries dead." --Clarence Day "While the rhetoric is highly effective, remarkably little good evidence exists that there's any educational substance behind the accountability and testing movement." —Peter Sacks, Standardized Minds "When our children fail competency tests the schools lose funding. When our missiles fail tests, we increase funding.
