Lori Sure. For the dresser lessons, I used some of the Harcourt Brace Science and Social studies series...they were organized mainly main idea and detail. Capstone press had a book on each of the Seasons and they were also organized like a dresser. Wright group had a biography on Rosa Parks and also there was a biography series in Really Good Stuff that our school bought and the bio on Dr. Seuss was perfect to teach chronological/sequential (like a stair case) text structures. We are using Tomie DePaola's the Quicksand Book to model the embedded text structures of Cause and Effect and Descriptive...but this book isn't perfect for strugglers in grade two since the structures are a bit more subtle. We are reteaching this week with some articles from the Primary Comprehension toolkit. There are some great resources there ! Jennifer In a message dated 3/14/2009 3:54:13 P.M.
