Picture books

A lot of good examples and it help you get your creative juices flowing so you can create similar ideas from books you already own!

Great Resource!

I'm a first year fourth grade teacher and always on the lookout for good resources. I'm so glad I found this one. When I first introduced picture books into my mini lessons, I explained that picture books aren't "baby" books -- there are so many high quality, beautifully written and illustrated books out there. Students love the books, they are engaged in lessons, and they use the books as references for their writing. In addition to the many detailed lesson plans throughout the book, there is a comprehensive listing of things to do with other picture book titles.

Using Picture Books To Teach Writing With The Traits

A third grade teacher colleague had shared this book with me, and I had to have my own. There is nothing like having a list of books that teach the traits at your fingertips. This resource is another must-have for anyone teaching elementary students the 6 traits of writing!

Great book for teaching children how to write

This book is excellent to teach children how to write. Great connections with literature as well. Teaches the 6 traits of writing!

A Fabulous teaching tool for the 2000's!

As a parent and teacher, this book has valuable ideas that are easily accessible and understood! I found it to be a great book to have in my bag of tricks for teaching! Thanks Ms. Culham for another insightful book in your line of great books on the traits!
