Okapi Educational
Materials: Explorations are hot! These nonfiction books are
quickly gaining momentum as a favorite in Wisconsin to use with your
Guided Reading groups. The teacher's books are key to instant assessment. Also
great for ELL and Title I students.
Benchmark
Education Company: Nonfiction is their central area
of focus in Math, Social Studies and Science content areas. Hot products
from Benchmark include: Paired Text, Reader's Theatre, Summer School
bags, Comprehension Strategies posters and their ever growing Spanish
Resources.
Mondo
Publishing: Many trainers have been requesting Mondo samples
to use in the sessions. Their Safari series incorporates many genre
around one subject--great for teacher paired text. Are you looking for
something to help your students with their Oral Language? Mondo's Oral
Language posters are perfect--more importantly their Oral Language Assessment
helps to identify students who get stuck at low reading levels,
especially when it comes to comprehension. The Mondo website is great
because you can look up what books are available by topic and reading
level! Especially fantastic for your teachers if they already
have Mondo books in their school.
Developmental Studies Center: This recent addition to the Stepping Stone family has already created quite a stir at the national level with their Child Devlopment Project (recommended by SAMHSA. and Education Week). Whether you are looking for help with your students comprehension, decoding, or community building--DSC has a program for your district.
