Brenda, Sundance Publishers have two different sets called "The Real Deal". They are my kids' FAVORITE nonfiction books. They range between 3rd-5th grade reading levels and are about a variety of nonfiction topics, one including how things smell. They are full of nonfiction features and have super illustrations/photographs. Kids love them! My only wish is that they would make ANOTHER set that I could purchase for my classroom!

I'm writing a grant and want to get short nonfiction readers for my 4th grade classroom. I have kids reading from PP-8th grade level. I bought some Okapi readers several years ago and they are wonderful. Written at diff levels with diff. text structures the kids eat them up! I need some new readers. Any ideas? Also, my students are having trouble making predictions using prior knowledge and info from the text. Any great lessons that really make that stick? We've been predicting and questioning since school started, but they are having trouble applying it to a test situation. Thanks for all your help, Brenda CA/4 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
