Well!! Talk about manna from heaven--or at least from a savvy publisher! Ask and ye shall receive (if you have the $$s). I just looked at a lot of material from Sundance/Newbridge, who have developed what looks like an amazing "comprehension strategy kit" with fiction and nonfiction texts. Wow! The text is available on blackline masters, but the kit also provides transparencies of the text, so they can be written on, etc. The possibilities just swim around you as you look at what's there. The bad news is that it's pricey - $545 per kit. But, if nothing else, looking at a kit will give you many ideas that you can build and expand upon. I love the Harvey and Gouvis stuff, but this was probably even easier for S/N to pull off because they own the copyrights to the materials already! Sundance/Newbridge books are already the foundation of our leveled library, so our kids are familiar with these texts, and I can see endless possibilities. All I want for Christmas... _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
