Does anyone know of a good website that has picture books to be used when teaching comprehension strategies for kids grades K-5. I have been looking into the Linda Hoyt book but was wondering if there isn't a similar website online. Thanks

I'm in need of some persuasive texts to share w/ my 2nd graders. Here's what was in the list in the book, all of which I've just ordered from Amazon (and which I'm hoping my principal will pay for!!): Common Ground, Bang Dear Children of the Earth, Schimmel Why Should I Recycle?, Green/Gordon The Peace Book, Parr The Librarian of Basra, Winter Dear World, Noda Our library has The Meanest Thing to Say by Bill Cosby, and I'm still researching where to find 2 books by Joy Cowley (The Smile, and Sky to Sea). If anyone has taught this unit, or one like it, are there any other suggestions for mentor texts? Thank you!
