Thanks, Diane. Boy, you're quick!! Leslie In a message dated 7/7/2008 1:46:57 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Leslie, Yes, I do have some of the books leveled. I use books I've accumulated from past preview kits before a text book adoption, the small readers from science and social studies. I've also taken some of my books out of the "regular" tubs and added them to the leveled section. I have 6 pretty full tubs of leveled books plus all my chapter books. In addition to my regular guided reading books, I also have all the Reading A-Z books available to me. I have a very healthy collection, but finding eye appealing storage isn't often easy.
