Week 2 - Literary or Expository
Week 3 - Literary or Expository
Week 4 - Literary or Expository
Week 5 - Fiction
Week 6 - Fiction (trickster tales)
Week 7 - Fiction
Week 8 - Poetry

The first four weeks include introduction of stations, BOY literacy assessments and the book 1 of the Comprehension Toolkit. Because of these constraints, you will notice that the first four weeks aren't genre specific. The TEKS for those weeks are readiness standards that can be applied to all genres.
