This book talks about engaging kids to help them see even small experiences as invitations to write. This book did a nice job of showing how simple that can be, and gave great examples of books from Pre-K and K writers. The book also gave some nice in-roads through literature to help students to understand reading and writing like authors. It provided a good, easy to read jumping off point to start to work on really engaging students in writing and doing it with purpose. What I needed was more meat, more ideas about the ways we invite kids to write through experiences. I was sold on many of the ideas, but really wanted more help or discussion on what that would look like or how it would work. I kept waiting and getting more and more sold on the ideas, but in the end, I felt like I got a great idea without anything to go on from there. Still worth reading.
