I choose the Science unit focusing on the rain forest for an upper elementary audience. In the lesson the teacher used the Magic Treehouse series in conjunction with the Imagination Express: rainforest program. In the program students can practice at communication through writing, narrating and animate their own stories.
As I'm not currently in a classroom I'm just now becoming acquainted with the Magic Treehouse series. Osborne has written books that cover a wide variety of topics, particularly history and social studies topics.
This lesson could be adapted to fit many different units as a way to encourage students who need more practice in reading skills.

I hope while not in a classroom you see the potential for using this type or resource. And as you point out, adaption is the key for any lesson to meet student needs.
