Simple instructions and diagrams show you and your students how to make 20 different books. Motivating writing activities and literature suggestions accompany each book idea. 70 pages.
One successful way to stimulate an interest in writing and foster a lifelong love of reading is to involve students in making their own books. Children love to read what they have written and take considerable pride in their published work. Student-authored books are among the most popular books in any classroom library.
Celebrating authorship by publishing books is also an important component of the writing process. It gives students a real reason to move writing through the whole authoring cycle: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. Writing for an audience provides an opportunity to practice writing skills in a meaningful way.
