[MOSAIC] Adopting a new reading series - Help!

[Laura Cannon]

We adopted McGraw Hill a few years ago--so this wouldn't be the newest
edition.  But I like it.  We do not have to use it like you do--so I pick
and choose the stories I want to use etc.  But I like the stories in the
anthology and my students are interested in them.  I use very few of all the
extra materials that come with it--but they're not bad.  You could
definitely incorporate Mosaic strategies with the stories they have chosen.
I teach third grade.

Hello all,
  I've been a lurker for a few years and really enjoy your ideas!  I've
often used a few even though I teach in a Reading First school.  In my
school I am required to teach reading
  directly from a basal series.  I cannot leave the teacher's manual.  There
are 5 third grade teachers and we are all on the same page, same story, and
same skill.  However, because
  of you all I do manage to sneak in a few strategies to help my students
become more active readers.
   
  If possible, I'd like some comments about a new reading series we're
getting ready to adopt.  We are looking at the new McGraw-Hill.  Does anyone
have any experience with
  this series if so could you possibly let me know what you think?
   
  Thanks so much for all your help.  
  Cathleen
