I JUST got a few sets of leveled nonfiction books (between levels M through S, I believe) from Sundance Publishers called "The Real Deal" and my 5th graders are loving them! I just got the one copy of each package, but they sell them by six-packs as well. I highly recommend them!
Also, as you get into the intermediate grades, I'd say Rigby does a SUPER job with nonfiction, but their fiction looks pretty canned and cartoonish. Finally, we originally began stocking our bookroom with the guided reading sets available from Scholastic--all "real" books, but packaged in sets where you can buy the entire set (they have 4 different sets available now levels A-Z!) or you can buy just certain levels. http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/guidedreading/index.htm The sets come with a generic Guided Reading "manual" from Gay Su Pinnell herself. Have fun! Ordering books is just like Christmas! :-) -Michelle TG/IA On 4/22/08, HERBERT Suzanne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can't thank everyone enough for their comments and directions with > my request for help with choosing books.
