[MOSAIC] authentic texts for struggling readers/anyone for comprehension strategy instruction

[Carol Carlson]

Thanks, Bev.

Now for another text request.

I am searching for material that has compare/contrast and or cause  
effect texts that would be for a high performing junior high. We do  
not have a specific basal, but find a need for these materials to  
teach the skills. Any non fiction suggestions?

Thanks,
Carol
