Why don't you go on readinglady.com website and click tools and resources.
There is a wealth of materials, handouts, lesson plans etc . They have been
developed over the years from teachers' studies, reading and beliefs in the
works of Mosaic of Thought and other books alike.

I don't know if this helps, but you may want to look on the New Jersey DOE
