Is this book for elementary school? In doing some research I can only locate this title for high school students.

I teach fifth grade summer school as well and found this worked well for my kids.

Does anyone have lesson ideas for grade 5-6? ________________________________ From: Ron Borchert To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Sent: Sat, May 15, 2010 2:05:05 PM Subject: [MOSAIC] lesson on inferring for k and first grade Does anyone have a great lesson on teaching inference to kindergarten/first grade students. I would suggest using the book Dear Juno by Soyung Pak. It is in our third grade Treasures (McMillan/McGraw reading series) and also available through Amazon. It is about an little boy that has a grandmother living in Korea. His grandmother sends him a letter written in Korean which he can't read. He asks his mother to read it to him, but she is too busy so he tries to figure out what his grandmother wrote him. Luckily grandma drew a few pictures and sent him a picture. Based on these clues he is able to figure out the content of the letter. When his mother finally reads the letter to him, his inferences are confirmed. It is a very effective and transparent book to teach inferring.
