[MOSAIC] Comprehension Toolkit 3-5

[Deb Smith]

I personally prefer the Sundance materials by Gambrell better than the
Harvey materials.  Sundance has gradual release built into the materials
really really well!  The materials are awesome!

Sundance has both fiction and nonfiction in the materials Linda Gambrell
contributed to.

The upper grade Toolkit has quite a bit of nonfiction, but it also uses
historical fiction. There aren't enough lessons to teach an entire year, so
there is plenty of space for you to use the strategies taught with fiction.
I found it a wonderful resource that I pull from every few weeks, but do not
use it by itself.
