Mentor Text Weekly Highlight
In an effort to encourage teachers to broaden their use of picture books as mentor texts, I will highlight one book from the PLC room each week. Included in this newsletter are a quick summary of the book, the aligned grade level(s) and Reading Power strategy and any other pertinent information. I hope this helps to encourage you to try out new and different mentor texts with your students. Enjoy!

***Note: I will put this book in the Reading Power cabinet, but this is a very powerful book that could also be used as part of a social-emotional lesson for any grade level.
