We adopted McGraw Hill a few years ago--so this wouldn't be the newest edition. But I like it. We do not have to use it like you do--so I pick and choose the stories I want to use etc. But I like the stories in the anthology and my students are interested in them. I use very few of all the extra materials that come with it--but they're not bad. You could definitely incorporate Mosaic strategies with the stories they have chosen. I teach third grade. Laura

Hello all, I've been a lurker for a few years and really enjoy your ideas! I've often used a few even though I teach in a Reading First school. In my school I am required to teach reading directly from a basal series. I cannot leave the teacher's manual. There are 5 third grade teachers and we are all on the same page, same story, and same skill. However, because of you all I do manage to sneak in a few strategies to help my students become more active readers. If possible, I'd like some comments about a new reading series we're getting ready to adopt. We are looking at the new McGraw-Hill. Does anyone have any experience with this series if so could you possibly let me know what you think? Thanks so much for all your help.
