The National Geographic Non-fiction, leveled books have been very useful for me in Title I. Each time I have a little budget money, I try to order ones that correspond with the science and social studies units the classroom teachers have to teach. Then I use the leveled books as part of Title I, reading intervention...always looking for more connected text at an appropriate level for my students. I second the opinion that the illustrations/photographs and the text are beautifully composed. Cathy Title I Reading In a message dated 12/17/2007 10:49:02 P.M.

If they are the ones I had my last year in elem, they were fabulous! Good topics in both science and social studies with good pics and powerful language. They are written in four Guided Reading levels, each one based on a common theme. One of my favorites was Metamorphosis. One book on the Monarch Butterfly, and the Poisonous Tree Frog. I can't remember the others. Each book had some common vocabulary, and a few unique words. The idea was to read their books either separately or together as a group. The kids could then get together in heterogeneous groups and could discuss the theme through the topic of their book. You have choices of which direction you want to take it. They have several worksheet choices, most of which I never used, but they were there. Hope that helps. -- Kim ------- Kimberlee Hannan Department Chair Sequoia Middle School Fresno, California 93702 The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book. ~Author Unknown [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
