This collection of 22 poems explores the fascinating lives of North
American nocturnal animals. When the sun goes down, many animals
come out. Crickets chirp their crickety song hoping to attract a
mate. Cougars bury their leftovers for later, leaving few clues for
others to follow. Armadillos emerge from their dens to dig for
worms, leaving holes in the lawns they disturb. This collection of
poetry from acclaimed children's author and poet David L. Harrison
explores the lives of animals who are awake after dark. Stephanie
Laberis's beautifully atmospheric illustrations will draw in
readers, and extensive back matter offers more information about
each animal.

Use these lessons to build developing readers' skill and desire to
read, read, read! This book will be your guide as you support
middle grade students who are reading two or more years below grade
level. The lessons enlarge students' vocabulary and background
knowledge and engage them in meaningful discussions and writing
about their reading. As students' reading skill and desire to read
increases, you'll watch them complete more independent reading and
ramp up their reading volume-the practice they need to improve!
Guided Practice for Reading Growth provides all you need to get
started. Laura Robb and poet David L. Harrison have collaborated to
design twenty-four powerful reading lessons using original poems
and short texts that interest your students and encourage them to
think deeply. The opening chapters offer background knowledge for
the lessons and teaching tips, then the bulk of this book consists
of lessons-with full texts and suggested videos provided. Guided
practice lessons are the instructional piece that can move
developing readers forward by building their self-confidence and
the reading expertise needed to read to learn and for pleasure.
This unique book shows you how to: * Build students' background
knowledge by watching and discussing videos. * Use the poems to
improve reading and to improve fluency through practice and
performance. * Invite students to write about their reading and
increase comprehension and recall. * Ask partners to discuss
before, during, and after reading as meaningful talk enlarges
students' analytical thinking and understanding. * Design your own
lessons for students with extra texts by David L. Harrison in the
appendix. Use this book to develop students' self-confidence and
the reading skill they require to become lifelong, joyful readers!
Johnny Appleseed was an important historical figure, well known for planting apple orchards across the new frontier. But he was also a master storyteller! In his own folksy voice, Johnny Appleseed tells his story to a couple of entranced children in this fictionalized Step 2 title. Readers learn how he started planting apple trees—and about some of the myths and true stories of his life.
WHOOOOOEEEEE THAT PAUL Bunyan sure knows how to tell a story. The
mammouth, mythic lumberjack tells the tallest tales about growing
up, making friends, and working in the great North Woods as the
biggest, best, and strongest lumberjack the world has ever seen.
Told in simple, unaffected first-person narrative, this Step 3
reader is the perfect way to introduce young readers to tall tales.
