1) Paperback Book Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6 by Stenhouse Publishers. I am so glad I purchased this text. No matter how often you hear about mentor texts you can never hear enough. Reading this book has enabled me to fill in all the missing pieces. It has also given me the confidence to implement this method of teaching writing. I am grateful to these ladies and their interest in sharing their ideas. Thank you.¤ 2) Paperback Book Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6 by Stenhouse Publishers. Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children´s Literature, K-6
This book has lots of ideas to create great lessons. Definitely a better way to learn about grammar and writing than just teaching rules through worksheets. Teachers can choose books their students pick to incorporate into the lesssons, but one of my favorite features of the book is the huge list of books that are put into categories of what they can be used to teach.¤ 3) Paperback Book Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6 by Stenhouse Publishers. This is a very teacher friendly text. You can pick the lessons you want to teach and go from there.¤ 4) Paperback Book Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6 by Stenhouse Publishers. This book is an excellent resource for anyone teaching writing to children (K-6). It has easy-to-read formatting and has lots of examples woven throughout. It has lists of mentor texts that can be used to share the craft of writing and show children how authors use writing for many different purposes. The books and strategies in the book lend themselves to helping students take risks in their writing. Great book!¤ 5) Paperback Book Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6 by Stenhouse Publishers. Shelley Harwayne´s recommendation for this outstanding resource says it all in her first line. Harwayne states that Mentor Texts is "a trustworthy book". It truly is. Lynne Dorfman and Rose Cappelli have crafted a remarkable resource for teachers, parents and writers. Every school district should order multiple copies for their staff development departments and hand it out to veteran and beginning teachers.
One of the primary reasons this book works so well is that Dorfman and Cappelli are in classrooms living what they write about - this is a real difference-maker in a teacher resource book.
The thrust of this book is using real literature as mentor texts for writers. Dorfman and Cappelli write that mentor texts are books that are filled with possibilities for writers to learn from and that they can become "as comfortable as a worn pair of jeans". This book will, no doubt, become as tattered and worn and comfortable as a worn pair of jeans for me as I teach writers of all ages. However, just like I buy multiple pairs of jeans that I know fit well, I plan to buy multiple copies and keep them on my bookshelf.
Buy this book if you write, teach teachers, teach writers or even if you are an editor.
I can´t wait for their next book, Non-fiction Mentor texts!
Bravo!
