[MOSAIC] nonfiction titles

[CARL ZIEMINSKI]

I have recently found a neat set of "Twin Texts"  that offer a nonfiction book and a corresponding a fiction story.  My students who have used them at the 4th grade level have REALLY enjoyed them.  I went to the company's website and see that they are available for rearly readers, too.
   
  You might like to check them out.

  I teach 2nd grade and absolutely love the "Let's Read and Find Out Series"
of nonfiction readers. I find that the level 1 books are actually about
just right for independent reading towards the end of the year, but have a
lot of facts so we generally share them as a supplement to our science
textbook. I also share many of the Level 2 books throughout the year, but
they tend to be more 3rd grade. Two of my favorites this time of year as we
study the earth and sky are "The Big Dipper" and "The Moon Seems to Change".

You can see the books at amazon at

I'm actually one of these books to do "text-mapping" which is a technique
I'm trying for the first time after seeing the website in Dave Middlebrook's
email tag on this listerv. Check it out at http://www.textmapping.org and
pictures of the project in action at http://www.textmapping.org/images.html 

Hope this helps!

Does anyone have any good non-fiction titles and/or a series for 2-3rd grade
readers?
