SuitabookWriting with Rosie
Patricia Reilly Giff
- Reading
- Read a section at a time and pause at each invitation to write; let your child try the exercise before discussing the author’s example or moving on.
- Themes
- Learning to write fiction: The book explains fiction-writing steps, illustrates them with the author’s novels and invites young readers to try the techniques. Writing is presented as a process that can be broken into steps and practised with guidance.
- Worth knowing
- Rosie’s high energy and interruptions are part of the book’s humour. Consider whether that comic distraction will be engaging or make it harder for your reader to focus on the writing advice.
