This can be done through rich vocabulary development that equals English proficiency. This featured book, She Sang Promise, by Jan Godown Annino, sounds like a book I need to own. As an aspiring author, thank you for the reminder to consider word choice, when writing pb manuscripts. ~Suzy LeopoldGarden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-69766057612986243702014-04-16T14:09:37.667-04:002014-04-16T14:09:37.667-04:00I'm making a note of author Diane Siebert &...I'm making a note of author Diane Siebert & HEARTLAND. <br />Thank you Angela Turner.<br /><br />At midweek now I've collected library books for Friday reading & find Eve Bunting & Mem Fox among the group. These two authors consistently provide a lyricism with perfect storytelling that could lead a class in ideas, Marcie. Bet you already have lists peppered with their titles.<br /><br /> The two titles at hand are HUNWICK'S EGG (Fox) & HAVE YOU SEEN MY NEW BLUE SOCKS?

Thanks.
To answer Marc...Yes, what you said Patty! Thanks. <br /><br />To answer Marcie's question - I like to take a look at the ABC/E.B. White Read Aloud Winners. Read Aloud books are almost genetically wired to employ those delicious words that are textural, layered & carry multiple meaning while pleasing little ears.<br /><br />I will mention just one title I see in a glance in the room here, cringing also because I'm overlooking a buncha others, but even tho we are out of monster "season" I send you to the Emberly team (Rebecca & dad Ed, granddaughter Adrian is also credited on the delightful dust jacket) IF YOU'RE A MONSTER AND YOU KNOW IT, where twitching tails, wiggling warts & other moving phrases evoke the oversize actions of careening monsters.<br /><br />I sometimes feel that all fabulous picture books will be lyrical & likely, employ language that reflect the movements of the character or story. In biography, for example, see the flow of the words A RIVER OF WORDS, about William Carlos Williams by Jen Bryant (illustrator Melissa Sweet).<br /><br />And the KM SNOW book is an E.B. White Read Aloud Honor Finalist, so that list is truly one mighty fine resource.<br /><br /> <br /><br />jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-59609611014086611292014-04-14T18:14:28.494-04:002014-04-14T18:14:28.494-04:00Conferences are a great way to make connections, J...Conferences are a great way to make connections, Jan, as well as discover ways to improve craft. At a recent conference I attended, Chronicle editor Melissa Manlove, used OVER AND UNDER THE SNOW (Kate Messner) as a mentor text. She pointed out how the language reflected the sounds of moving in snow and the ideas of "over" and "under". Thanks for pointing out how you use mentor texts, Marcie!Patricia Tohthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878871084215411303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-62109534607761819972014-04-14T13:03:51.345-04:002014-04-14T13:03:51.345-04:00Hi Tina!
