I second everything that Laura said.  Some of the leveled readers are 
also good.

Quoting Laura Cannon <lcannon at satx.rr.com>:

> 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.
