Then, I adjusted the two far columns so that they were slightly smaller than the middle ones.

So I think on the left hand side there is a link to "groups" and it says "join or create" and you will want to join the basal alignment project. Then, you can search for your anthology series and see the links. I clicked through the other series sets as well because you may read other stories in class that are included. I know it's grades 3-5 for sure, nothing lower. Maybe higher grades but as I am elementary, I only looked for the elementary grades.

We are working on answering text dependent questions in our reading anthology. If you go to edmodo.com, there is a basal alignment project to join, and they have great text dependent questions for most anthologies. I have been using them with my 4th graders since December, and they are already getting much better about "justifying" their answers! :-)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222988240112042151noreply@blogger.com
