Writing @ Reading Share a Story Day 4

We hope that you've been enjoying all the posts so far this week for our 2013 Share a Story - Shape a Future literacy blog tour.

Before we know it, the school bells will ring, and we'll alternately worry about how our "babies" are doing and dreading the spelling lists! But lets not rush it! So today, we'll enjoy the footloose, creative creatures who are our preschoolers.

Today's Writing @ Reading Prompts reflect the joys of the dramatic life ...

• Is there anything your preschooler has taught you about reading?
• Help: what do you do when the rhyming book doesn't rhyme like it should? Tips please!
• Create a book ad! Susan Stephenson, the Book Chook sent us this one as an example of the limitless possibilities.

Our kids are bombarded with commercials and advertisements for cereal, toys, the latest Disney movie ... you name it. What if we substituted those pitches with book ads? Think: image or video like a book trailor, but tailored to lure a 4-year-old.  What book would you advertise, and how would you pitch it to a preschooler?

Can't decide on just one topic? Yeah! We hoped that would happen. Remember, you are welcome to write a post for any or all of them! Each post = 1 entry for our fabulous book prize packages.
