What about Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul (not sure that's the exact title,
but it's something like that). Don't those stories usually have a problem and
then a solution?

HI All,
I'm looking to teach my fourth grade students to summarize by identifying
problems and solutions in a text. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a
chapter book where in each chapter the main character has a problem and
solution that s/he needs to solve.
I find that while most books have a problem and solution, they are presented
across chapters. They are rarely embedded within a chapter.
So far, I found this style in Wayside books. The problem with these books
is that when I level them, they are really on a very low reading
level....according to Lexile, they are a 440 range book (essentially end
first grade and and beginning second.....). Encyclopedia Brown series don't
really have the solutions embedded in the chapters.......
Any suggestions???? I'm having a really tough time here......
Thanks!
Esti
