How I Came To Be a Writer

Fifth Grade students are currently reading a book written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor and will be writing several original stories. This book is very interesting if you like biographies, and is perfect for all ages. She talks about her childhood of writing and making up stories. She says that at first she didn't understand how to read and she thought all of the kids were just making up a story that went with a picture. She also talks about eating her sister's chocolate bunny and having to wear awful boy's clothes! She later on discussed the steps she took to become the marvelous writer she is.Hopefully this book will inspire some students to not only become better writers, but enjoy writing!
