[GRISTINA, KRISTIN]

thanks, Patty! That was helpful!
As was the National Geographic idea! I had that catalog on my shelf!

I'm winning the war on guided reading times as well! We're sticking with 30 minutes for now and not dropping down to 20!

Kristin,

In the upper grades, I have found it takes 40 minutes to run one guided reading group, never mind two.  As far as the conferencing goes, maybe they could conference 2 days and take a guided reading group 3 days?  I know that's a compromise.  Redbrick Publishers makes fantastic high interest, low readability books on a variety of current topics.  The High Five collection is their high interest-low readability product.  Check out their website www.redbricklearning.com and search for the High Five collection.

Good luck.
