We began an author study today of Kevin Henkes. He has written many children's books such as A Weekend with Wendall, Chrysanthamum, Lilly's Plastic Purple Purse, and many more. The children are learning to write like authors using a beginning, middle, end format and adding onomatapoeia words like splat! and Ouch! (They love to say that word!). We have also been practicing starting our stories with good "leads" to hook in the reader. Ask them all about it!
