I'm looking for great "How to..." or procedural books that can be
used as mentor texts to help 2nd graders write "How to..." books.
We use some that Lucy Calkins recommends in her Units of Study, but
are looking for good examples to add to our libraries. What are
some that you are us
I totally agree. A good place to read about this is
in Tony Stead's book about writing nonfiction in the
primary grades called, Is That a Fact? It is an
excellent book, and in it they move from whole class
investigation (using science as a model) to individual
writing.

That would also be true of our lab books, basically the "texts" for our
Scholastic Science Place program. By the time we've worked through several
procedural experiments, even the littlest have a pretty good grasp of how to
write procedure. Next...recipes and cookbooks. Or building things, su
Highlights magazine can be a good resource for How To's.
