[MOSAIC] Using the same book for all students

[Carlevarom at aol.com]

Have you looked at Taffy Raphael's Book Clubs?  One of her  titles is Book 
Clubs for Middle School.Her whole theory is  using the same text with all, but 
providing support so everyone is  successful. (book partners, books on tape).  
That way everyone can  discuss a meaty text. During guided reading the teacher 
uses leveled books  on the same theme or topic.  She has a web site and also 
has plans for  books through Small Planet. Here is the web address.
