One way to find great lists of leveled text is to go to Scholastic's Book Wizard: http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/homePage.do You can enter in the level in a variety of ways (Lexile, grade equivalent, etc.) and make selections for interest level, genre, and topic/theme.

I have to chime in on this one. I found this book one of the most fascinating reads about education, bar none. It moved my thinking as much as Mosaic did the first time I read it. The discussion we've had is rich and thought provoking. Ellin's clarifications and comments have enhanced our discussi
