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 lessons.

I'm writing a grant and want to get short nonfiction readers for my 4th grade classroom. I have kids reading from PP-8th grade level. I bought some Okapi readers several years ago and they are wonderful. Written at diff levels with diff. text structures the kids eat them up! I need some new readers. Any ideas? Also, my students are having trouble making predictions using prior knowledge and info from the text. Any great lessons that really make that stick? We've been predicting and questioning since school started, but they are having trouble applying it to a test situation. Thanks for all your help, Brenda CA/4 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
