[MOSAIC] High-low books for comprehension strategies

[Lucinda Marcello]

These look great, Kim.

How does the pricing work out for you? Does your district buy them? If I 
have 30 students and 5 classes of 7th graders, I am trying to estimate the 
best price and minimal purchase. Any thoughts? I like how they can tie them 
to your state standards.

Thanks. Lucinda
