Reading Studio
- This week we are looking at non-fiction genres: informational, biography, autobiography and will finish off the week with poetry.
- Our focus this week is that: Writers know when they are finished and look back to add details or change words. Writers keep writing starting with a new topic. Writers conference with other writers to share ideas and give feedback. And writers share their writing with other writers.
