I'm just catching up with email. Polacco's books are great for developing reader's theater with your class. We (my third graders and I) have written one for Meteor, The Graves Family, and Aunt Chip and the Triple Creek Damn Disaster over the years. The Graves Family is absolutely hysterical- great opportunity for sound effects, choruses. I have some ancient copies of Aunt Chip that I got from Scholastic several years ago. They've been patched together several times. It's a great story of a town that uses books to patch up roofs with books- no one knows how to read!

I understand that the books are long, but there a quite a few that are leveled at the end of second grade level. A few of my students could read them now, and I think that with many read/think-alouds, many students would do well with them with a little support. What do you think?
