To encourage students to become lifelong readers and to develop writing skills, Ms. Bonfante and Ms. Karakowski present a book writing project for all first through third grade students in their school. After working on a class book and visiting with a published author, students apply their knowledge of the writing process to create an original book. The students’ work is professionally bound and published and presented to families at a Young Authors’ Tea celebration.
