My students loved reading the new book and were excited to illustrate their writing using the strategy from the book.

It was fun to watch the excitement of my students as they saw the simplicity of drawing things using shapes. The students enjoy using the white boards during lessons to help with engagement and practice phonics spelling patterns. I have begun to read the Writing Revolution book in parts that align with what I am currently working on teaching in the classroom. I am eager to dive in and read the books this summer.
