I like the National Geographic Theme Sets. I've used these with 4-6 grades, and I am ordering these for my 7th graders. The sets consist of four books in four different levels (about 3rd-6th) centered around the same theme. All four have the same core vocabulary, theme, and focus reading strategy, but differ in difficulty. They can be done in a literature type group by gathering one of each level together to discuss differences and similarities of the different animals and processes, or as leveled guided reading. I have also used them to scaffold reading by slowly reading several levels in one group.
