[MOSAIC] Recommendations for 2nd grade leveled readers, etc

[Heidi Rammer]

Hello,

I am a second grade teacher overseas and it is time
for yearly ordering here.  I am a first year teacher,
so am not familiar with lots of great grade level
literature, since we have a very limited supply here.

Can someone recommend some very good:
leveled readers
book series that kids like

I have lots of ESL kids, so reading level is first
grade (and below) to high second grade.

I am also not experienced with teaching beginning
reading and phonics, and have struggled with it, since
i have few resources to use.  Can anyone suggest some
good instuctional books for either of these that give
you a good step-by-step for those of us with little
experience?  These would need to be inexpensive, as
the school won't fund a big program.

Finally, any other suggestions for "must have" items
that you find invaluable in your classrooms would be
great.

Please send any website links if you can.
Much appreciated!

HR
