![]() A teacher might want to pull some ideas from these books to share at a development-appropriate level with their class. For ideas about story structure and how to keep your idea going after a few paragraphs, I would recommend Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly and Brave the Page, even though they are geared towards middle grade readers. It also ends very abruptly, and lacks any conclusion or author's note that would share more information or encouragement.īecause this book focuses on the most basic introductory concepts, this book is best as an educational tool for very young children. When I was a child, I wanted insight about how to tell a story, and how to shape a story's unfolding events, but this book does not provide any advice for how to plot a narrative. This book covers different elements of creative writing, such as conflict, a setting, and a main character, but these are all concepts that attentive readers are already aware of. The advice is extremely basic, and even though this is a good introduction for a classroom assignment, I know that I would have found it frustrating when I was an independent beginning writer looking for advice for how to tell a story. ![]() ![]() ![]() This nonfiction picture book will be a great fit for kindergarten through young elementary-age classes, but has little appeal beyond that demographic. ![]()
