I teach 3rd grade, so a great author for that age group is Eve Bunting. I also use articles from Scholastic News and Time for Kids. What better way to intro. t-to-w than using actual current events. I've heard you can use newspapers, but the text is too hard for my little ones, that's why I like the 2 resources I just mentioned.

Kifer Third Grade Literacy Teacher Fox Meadow Elementary "Love of reading and writing is not taught, it is created. Love of reading and writing is not required, it is inspired. Love of reading and writing is not demanded, it is exemplified. Love of reading and writing, is not exacted, it is quickened. Love of reading and writing is not solicited, it is activated." -Russell Stauffer, 1980 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
