Unsent Messages:
Instead of learning more literacy skills, students may find deep value in using the literacies they have already been building. It’s about connecting with people in their lives, and putting into words the messages they want to deliver to those people.
Fables:
These are (very) short reading pieces from the forthcoming Text Structures from Fables, which will offer six different ways to respond to reading. Each home edition includes one way to respond in writing, along with a whole lot of fables. They make great pieces for parents and kids to read at home.
