Re: [MOSAIC] fluency
Go on line to Text Help and the free trial of Fluency Tutor. I use it daily and have seen unbelievable growth!

Re: [MOSAIC] Reading Enrichment for Middle School
June, I would stick to all non fiction if possible. I would also level the texts based on students RIT ranges. A few good sites to start from are Resources for Idaho teachers. House of Snakes is a real attention getter and there is lots of info on the web about this real house! Ugh! Depaul also has a site but the address is at school but maybe you could Google it. Also Kelly Gallager has an awesome site but preview all texts first for your audience for appropriateness. Look at Article of the Week. Hope this helps and all is well!
