Maureen, Which short texts are you referring to? Leslie In a message dated 10/25/2008 3:19:02 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I have used them for a few third grade readers who have solid higher-level comprehension and decoding ability, and fifth graders of most ability levels. They are 1-3 page articles on a huge variety of topics of interest to children, I would say up to 7th or 8th grade, and then I would go to the ones written for adults. I have used them often for small group guided reading for every comprehension strategy, as well as for decoding and even fluency. They are high-interest and lead the kids to voluntarily do research to follow up on the topics. Many of the books in the series are available at bookstores, so you can see one for yourself. There are also joke books and puzzle books in the series but I don't use those. I hope that helps! Maureen PS, the ones for adults are great to own! _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
