Little Red Writing


What a great new title to share with students to get them writing! I highly recommend this book. I am currently teaching 1st Grade, and my students were delighted when I read it aloud to them. This picture book is leveled for ages 5-8--but I suggest sharing it with writers of any age!

I have enjoyed creating my own children's book, and sharing that process with my students. This is a Maine alphabet book, featuring photos I have taken throughout my home state. It is exciting to see this for sale on Amazon, and to share it in print to inspire kids to make their own books!http://www.amazon.com/Is-For-Adventure-Maine-Alphabet/dp/1502982625/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414709647&sr=8-1&keywords=sherrie+Brann
