Re: [MOSAIC] 5th grade summer school
Carol, That's just what I was thinking of focusing on this summer. Our state standards are about to be updated, and I've been told that they will require 50% of the reading that fifth grade students do is to be nonfiction. By working with these struggling learners in this area, I hope to give them a leg up. Using text features, determining main ideas, context clues for vocabulary, summarizing what was read, and most certainly fluency, so they can read more in a given amount of time, will be some of the instruction I am aiming to deliver.

Re: [MOSAIC] 5th grade summer school
It is published by Great Source. Here is the link for the books for grades 2 - 5. http://www.greatsource.com/store/ProductCatalogController?cmd=Browsesubcmd=LoadDetailID=100540012255division=G01frontOrBack=FsortEntriesBy=SEQ_NAMEsortProductsBy=SEQ_TITLE I thought it was a great supplement to those who are teaching reading strategies and don't have a required basal they must teach from. Make sure you get the ones with the newest publication date--they are better for strategy teaching. Carol - Original Message - From: Ellen H.
