Hello everyone! Over the upcoming weeks, I will be sharing books which I highlighted in a presentation in the fall at the Williamsburg Area Reading Council. I will first share some of the fiction selections. I will highlight some of my favorite nonfiction writers and great mentor texts in upcoming posts. :) Here is the first round of fiction texts that are wonderful mentor texts that can be used in many ways. I hope that you find some inspiration!
