Stephanie,
We subscribe to the National Geographic for Kids and just
love it!! I teach 2nd but have a few students who can
benefit from the higher level. Our principal ordered the
magazine for the entire school so what I do is switch with
other teachers at different grade levels. They take some of
my lower books and give me some of their higher ones.
National Geographic also sells leveled books which you can
get as individual or as text sets. We ordered a huge amount
of text sets and put them in the library for teachers to
check out. These support our goals of strengthening the
kids' reading of expository text. They are very high
quality.
