About this Episode

Reading and writing go hand in hand. In this final episode of our reading series, we’re exploring how to use books as a launching point for creative and critical writing. Whether it’s a simple story retelling, a persuasive opinion, or a totally new ending, writing about what they read helps kids solidify comprehension and develop their voice. We’ll share strategies for all ages that connect reading to writing in fun, purposeful ways.
