[MOSAIC] High-low books for comprehension strategies

[kimberlee hannan]

I like the National Geographic Theme Sets.  I've used these with 4-6 grades,
and I am ordering these for my 7th graders.  The sets consist of four books
in four different levels (about 3rd-6th) centered around the same theme.
All four have the same core vocabulary, theme, and focus reading strategy,
but differ in difficulty.  They can be done in a literature type group by
gathering one of each level together to discuss differences and similarities
of the different animals and processes, or as leveled guided reading.  I
have also used them to scaffold reading by slowly reading several levels in
one group.
