Our county is beginning the textbook adoption process for ELA/Reading. We are working hard to help our teachers teach reading using Balanced Literacy. Have any of you adopted materials that you feel really support the use of Balanced Literacy? I have a sample of Celebration Press's "Good Habits, Great Readers", which has lots of guided reading support and shared reading even through upper elementary. They address good comprehension strategies thorughout and it looks pretty good. Do you know of any other good matierals? We don't necessarily need to adopt a basal, and in fact are wanting to look "outside the box" on this and try to buy more leveled readers as support for teachers if possible. But we nknow that new teachers need support to help them organize their day. Any insights you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
