This post was great! I loved how the blog explained the aspects of a book instead of telling the reader how to read a book. I feel it is important for ELL students to first understand the aspects and what to look for in a book then to understand how to read a book. This blog would help ELLs accomplish that goal. The picture you chose was really cute also!
ReplyDeleteA very fine post about reading and the essential parts of narratives! You have good user-friendly definitions. I think the grammar point is important too.
