I saw the Sundance Comprehension Strategies Kit at the NCASCD conference last

I am in an elementary school. We have a lot of non-fiction books from
Newbridge. The kids love the texts because they are colorful and have lots of

Kinney. One boy read it, and couldn't keep his eyes out of it. When his friends
finally plied him from the book, that's all he could talk about Soon, every boy
had a copy of the book, and they had formed their own lit cir
If you could choose between either using the DRA2 or the Fountas and Pinnell
Assessment Kit for 5th grade, which one would you choose and why? My
