Saddleback's Tween Genre Collections give grades 6 to 8 classrooms Hi-Lo paperback sets organized by theme rather than reading level, so you can pick the collection that will resonate most with your students, or mix themes to build a more varied classroom library. Each box pairs fiction and nonfiction across a range of Lexile levels. Sets with a "+ Hi-Lo Guide" add-on include a comprehension strategies guide for teaching with the collection; the set alone works well for independent or classroom-library reading.
Sets include: Female-Driven Set A and Set B (fiction and nonfiction centered on female protagonists), a Diversity Set (stories representing a range of cultures and backgrounds), and a Sports Set (high-interest sports fiction and nonfiction).
