You may want to look into Interactive Read Alouds by Linda Hoyt. She has selected wonderful literature to help you teach comprehension, story elements, vocabulary and literary language, literary elements and devices, and genre. Each lesson is based on a picture book, and there is a shared reading piece and a readers theater script for each lesson.
We're using it for the first time this year, so I can't speak to much of anything else, but last year I participated in a very successful team teaching experience with a lesson on distinguishing real from make-believe (bats and Stellaluna). It's what help convinced us to buy it this year. Hope that helps. ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shannon Lauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 8:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOSAIC] HELP! I need help with leveling picture books for the strategies Hi. I'm writing a grant for picture books for the different strategies. I'd like to have a decent amount of these books in my classroom library so that the students may read them too. Do you know what picture books would be appropriate for second graders to read independently? I'm getting my list from the documents on the tools page, and the recommendations from RWM. Thanks for your help!
