National Geographic has monthly magazines. There is one written for students
in 3-5 and another one that is similar but at a lower level. They have
wonderful articles with many non fiction text structures which lead to mini

What exactly are teachers doing for their guided practice? This is the piece
that many teachers miss in this district... they model then kids do themselves.

interest and written accurately...unlike many non-fiction books I have seen
recently...no factual errors!

What about using Regie Routman's Optimal Learning Model? She says we try to
move them to independence too quickly, so she has added another step. I do, we
do, we do, you do.

with a partner or a small group before they work individually.
Sometimes I use the document camera and have students suggest ideas
that I write down for everyone to see.

Sundance Publishers have two different sets called The Real Deal. They are
my kids' FAVORITE nonfiction books. They range between 3rd-5th grade reading

This is my go-to website when I'm looking for short non-fiction readers.

Also, I just started reading a book called Comprehension Connections,
Bridges to Strategic Reading
Perhaps Cris Tovani could help but I'm hoping you can too.
I need to get my hands on a list of books (or online resource) designed to
engage boys who are 11 or 12 years old but test at a reading level of a 3rd
or 4th grader. Clearly the Cam Jensen and Horrible Harry series don't work
