Lexile Book Lists

by Amber

Feb 24, 2010

I am the MS at a high school. One of the English teachers has asked me to help her find books in our media center on certain Lexile Levels. I've been to the website lexile.com and seen the amazing lists you can make there, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the sheer number. I'm finding lists other places, but most of them seem to be for elementary sc...See More

Books and movies

by Annette Jones

Mar 7, 2010

I'm a first-year teacher in alternative education. I've noticed that many of the lit books we are using have movies that have been made from them as well. I'd like to show the movie, too, but I was wondering in which order I should do it: Do I show the movie first and whet their appetites? Or do I show the movie after the book as incentive to read ...See More

Mr. A I've shown movies (after the books are read), but now I wonder...

Why?

They just read the book.

Cowboy historical fiction for grades 3-6

by Ol' Westy

Apr 1, 2010

This book is a great, short, historical fiction piece dealing with cowboys, cattle drives, and orphan trains. The author's web site has some really neat downloadable teaching materials, including puzzles, vocab. quizzes (the book has a glossary of authentic cowboy terms), and discussion questions.

The Dollhouse Murders

by Movie, anyone?

Apr 14, 2010

The book by Betty Ren Wright the Dollhouse Murders has a movie called Secrets in the Attic. Its $42.00 on Amazon. Does anyone know how else to find a copy, or has anyone seen it on TV/Netflix etc? $42.00 is a bit much for me right now.

mgraham507 I found a video clip (approx. one hour long) for free online. I can't find the link at home; I must have it at school. It was an old movie clip that followed the book pretty closely.
