Higher Steps Recommendations for Text

Organized By Level Sources:

Brown, K.J. (1999/2000). What kind of text for whom and when: Textual Scaffolding for beginning readers. The Reading Teacher, 53, 292-307.

Morris, D. (2005). The Howard Street tutoring manual: Teaching at-risk readers in the primary grades. New York: Guilford Press. (ISBN # 1-59385-124-3)

Depending on your school’s leveled library resources, your ability to use a school/district lab for laminating, and the number of word study kits you choose to produce, the materials cost for Higher Steps may range from $1,000 to $3,000. For texts, you will need at least 10-15 titles at 2-2 D, 3-E, 3-M, 3-D, 4-E, 4-M, and 4-D levels. If you plan on executing Higher Step Triads or small groups at some point, you will need multiple copies of some titles. (Note: Some stores give educators additional discounts) For materials, a list is available in your Higher Steps binder under Higher Steps Supplies.

PLEASE NOTE: The “E-M-D” levels are provided as a tool to be used for making finer gradations within the Higher Steps Levels. Since leveling is not an exact science, you may find some discrepancies.

Higher Steps Recommendations for Text

Organized By Level Sources:

Brown, K.J. (1999/2000). What kind of text for whom and when: Textual Scaffolding for beginning readers. The Reading Teacher, 53, 292-307.

Depending on your school’s leveled library resources, your ability to use a school/district lab for laminating, and the number of word study kits you choose to produce, the materials cost for Higher Steps may range from $1,000 to $3,000. For texts, you will need at least 10-15 titles at 2-2 D, 3-E, 3-M, 3-D, 4-E, 4-M, and 4-D levels. If you plan on executing Higher Step Triads or small groups at some point, you will need multiple copies of some titles. (Note: Some stores give educators additional discounts) For materials, a list is available in your Higher Steps binder under Higher Steps Supplies.
