We have visitors!!!!!

on Tuesday, April 26th, a kindergarten class will be visiting! We are very excited about the visit, as it will provide us with REAL feedback for your writing process. The students will be put into groups and will begin a literacy review of the books and even the character sketches. This opportunity will be invaluable,as it will give us a chance to meet our audience.

Children's Books - Fun features

This week we discussed the features that authors use that make a book fun. In order to write a good book, your audience must find it entertaining. For small children, this may include writing in a way that they can predict what is going to happen next. Children who can not yet read, love to think they can!
