The year is just flying by!

I would love to get in to some more classrooms this year.  Please let me know if you are interested in working together on Reading, Writing, or Content Area Literacy.

Author's Craft

  

I know it has been several months since I updated the Literacy and Learning Blog!  I have been collecting many great articles and resources to share with you along the way.  I hope to get back to blogging and share these great resources!
This month the writing PD focus is on teaching author's craft.  We will continue our focus on using mentor texts.

 I saw Katie Wood Ray at the WSRA Convention a few years ago.  She talked about her favorite mentor text to teach students about author's writing craft.  She said the Ranger Rick Magazine would be her favorite resource.

What is your favorite text 

to teach writing with?

Here are some links with great resources:
Author's Craft Presentation
WSRA Children's Literature Handouts
Mentor/Touchstone Text

Great Digital Book Site K-2

This is a great site with many beautiful free digital books. They only require you to log in with your location.  This helps track where the books are being read.

Books are available in many languages.  Each week they post new titles.
Happy Reading!
