Get Ready to Write!
“When you engage the children in a writing activity before, during,
or after reading, you increase their facility with and affinity for
both reading and writing. (Cunningham & Allington, 1999)
“Children’s literature provides a springboard to teach writing
skills. Through literature students are able to see and her
quality writing.(Dierking & McElveen, 1998)
“The research strongly implies
that we learn to write by reading. To be more precise, we acquire
writing style, the special language of writing, by reading.
(Krashen, 1993)

Red stings like a fresh sunburn after a long afternoon in the pool.
It tumbles over the trellis full of roses in Grandpa’s backyard.
Red burns like a cinnamon candle on the counter in my kitchen.

Red screams like the siren of a fire truck speeding down the street on an emergency run.

Why Sketchnote?
We are incredible at remembering pictures. Hear a piece of information, and three days later you'll remember
10% of it. Add a picture and you'll remember 65%.
