438808
In the nonfiction category, you can write textbooks on literature, science, mathematics, history, art, music, etc.\n\nYou can also write nonfiction chapter books, including biographies, how-to books, niche categories like plants and animals of a particular state or science experiments you can eat, books that include materials - like starting a rock collection, and all the above categories.\n\nIn fiction, there are picture books for very young children, beginning reader books for early elementary, chapter books, and Young Adult category books.\n\nFiction includes, poetry, literature, novels, historical fiction, science fiction, series - like the Boxcar Children or Goosebumps, fantasy - like Harry Potter, and even age-appropriate stories dealing with romance, anorexia, gangs and other issues kids have to deal with.\n\nYou cannot lose by checking out the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators - see link below - they have even more information on genres, as well as publishers, literary agents and local chapters where members meet and help each other promote their work.

raz-kids.com - get the free 30 day trial.  The books are leveled from preschool reader to 5th grade.  The child reads the book online, clicking on words they don't know to be read aloud, then, they answer comprehension questions.  My son loves to read the stories over and over.  The other suggestion I have is to have her draw a simple picture and write a sentence below.  Work through a notebook from front to back.  After a couple weeks, she encourage her to write longer sentences by adding "and" or "because", etc.  She can read the notebook and improve her reading at the same time.  You'll see an improvement.  You may need to offer rewards for doing extra homework :)

If an adult will be reading to the child I would say any of the Eric Carle books (k-1) Picture books are good King Bidgoods in the Bath Tub is good by Audry Wood.  I also think any of the Dr. Seuss books are good.\n\nIf you mean that the child would be reading the book then again Dr. Seuss or any books that have repetition of sounds ie Ted in a Red Bed.  also look for books with sight words, words that we use often.  The old fashion Dick and Jane books are great. They have short sentences at the beginning level and gradually get longer.  They have repetition of words and sounds.

you need a story idea, and characters and then for kids you need to have some kind of moral (not heavy) in there.\n\nhow about a story about a panda who has lost his shoes?\n\nWriting classes can teach you the technicalities of structure, pace and so on, but the real main part - the heart - needs to come from your heart. They can't teach you that.

get the children to read read read read read make sure what they read is interesting, and of a high quality, \n pick interesting fantasy or fictional stories and read them with vigour\n\ncreative writing is 99% inspiration and 1% convention\n the conventions are important but when the children are involved and passionate then they will be most interested in going through the editing and self-correction process which is how they will best learn convention\n\ntalk them through the process of beggining a story, give them perhaps a few beggings, some could be time oriented- long ago... once upon a time... three years ago...  etc.\n\nfind inspiring ideas for them to base their stories on\nuse materials, photographs, objects, guided visualisation, fantasy settings, interesting science fiction ideas, whatever you can dream up to help inspire them\n\nperhaps you could tie it in with the sport they are doing, or the social studies area they are learning about\n\n\n an interesting beggining would be for the children to watch a little bit of the surfing movie- biggest wednesday, (50ft plus face waves) where the surfers towed in by jet-ski and the helicopters watching were dwarfed by the waves -\nand to get them to write from there\n\n as soon as the children have the idea of making stories up-(which most will) they will be able to have far more freedom\n\n a great exercise is to ask the children to give you a list of the ten top words they would use in a story, and then tell them they have to write a story without using these words\n some will struggle, others will relish the challenge, with support all will learn and develop\n\n(if the children struggle with handwriting you may need to set minumum legth requirement and convention guidlines before- hand, as they may write a few sentences and tell you they have finished, these will be useless if the children are not inspired and they will come up with all sorts of strategies to avoid them, however if you can really inspire them these will be easy to help them to achieve.)\n\nonce they have dived in, then it is time to start talking about grammer and paragraphing and sentencing or whatever level they are at\n\nif you can build passion with the entire class about this activity\nthey are already successful and your job will be easy

Literature is divided into genres.  For example, Fiction, Non- Fiction, Science Fiction, Drama, Poetry, etc. are types of literature.  To write literature you would first determine what category suits your talents and ideas and then refer to the the comments on this page.  If you haven't searched for the 6 Traits of good writing, you should do so.  It's a good guide for keep ing you focused as a writer.  I use it in my classes for beginners.

Depending on how big the library is, there can be many. But the three basic sections are: Fiction, Non-fiction, and Reference. Those can then be within a more specific sections such as Children, Young Adults, and Adults. Then those areas (fiction, nonfiction, etc.) within the age section, may be split into more specifics like religion, self-help, biography, etc. Hope this helps. :)

That's a pretty broad question.  Three methods I use to teach reading are shared reading, guided reading, and partner reading.\n\nShared reading is done with big books so children can see the print.  I pull out skills based on the content of the big book (ex. phonemic awareness, concepts about print, reading strategies).  \n\nGuided reading groups consists of 3-6 students and are done based on ability levels.  Children each receive a copy of the same little book.  They should be seperated enough so they don't hear what other children are reading.  As they read, I listen to what they're doing well and what they need help with.  I take a running record on one of the children each time I meet with them to gather information on the way they use the 3 cueing systems (meaning, structure, visual).\n\nIn partner reading, two children share a book and take turns reading.  They can help each other when needed.\n\nI hope that's what you're refering to.  If not, you might be refering to balanced literacy, whole language, etc.

Poems and songs written for the sibling are always great, so are drawings and paintings.  You can supply them with spare prints of pictures and they can make collages.  Or, they could make fancy frames to put a picture in.
