We have also added a 'literature' section. The stories and books in this section are from classic literature and have been highlighted on our KR BOOKMARKS on the front page KR Nav Bar. You can find most of these books and stories at your local library. The questions below may be helpful when guiding children in what to write: What did your reading make you think about? Do you agree with what you read? Did you learn anything new? Did the reading inspire you to write or participate in an activity? What would you like to say to the author? What would you like to say to the athletes featured in the article? Additional questions if the child has chosen to 'innovate' on a story (write a new version): What do you want to keep the same? What do you want to change?
