[MOSAIC] Short Text question

[Bonita DeAmicis]

Out of the Dust--some scenes way too much (hand burning, mom scene) for grade 3 but some grade 5 might respond well...
House on Mango street--I think the reading will be tough even for grade 5--enjoyment requires a high level of inference--but I have not tried it..

Love that Dog--use it often with wonderful results, but I do much exposure to poetry and poetry thinking prior to the reading--it makes a big difference.  I believe it could work with 3rd, I have used it extensively with 5th and can vouch for it there (again, if you do much poetry work first--otherwise the charm is lost on your readers).


hope that helps a little, eileen.
