Welcome to the VERY FIRST EDITION of We Read it Wednesday! That is READ as in the color, RED. :) It took me a LONG time to come up with a name for this special time where I get to share all the neat picture and chapter books we have read/are reading in our classroom! I hope you tune in every Wednesday for this very special book sharing!! Please leave comments giving details on other books you want to share with other amazing teachers like yourself!

Have you ever read Boris Ate a Thesaurus?? Well if not, you should!! This is a story about a little boy named Boris who eats a thesaurus and then starts speaking in synonyms. It is fantastic and hilarious! The kids LOVE it! I love to use this book as a mentor text for using good word choice in student writing. I usually read it during my minilesson, and then I give the kids the assignment of going back into their writing in their writing folders to change two words into new and exciting synonyms. Then about 10 minutes in, I have volunteers stand up to share what they changed in their writing. Read this book to your students to help them transform their writing from boring to engaging!
