6Traits Digest #137 - Thursday, February 10, 2000 Sentence Fluency book by "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com> Valerie D. by "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Sentence Fluency book From: "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com> Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 20:17:23 -0700 Hello, all, It isn't always easy to find a great example for Sentence Fluency, but today I finally got around to reading some of the books which came in a recent book order. There are so many good books to share! The book I read which immediately impressed me as a super example of this trait was Cynthia Rylant's _Cookie Store Cat_. It came with a cat shaped cookie cutter. The sentences are terrific! We counted some on the last few pages of the book. They went from 12 words to 53 words! One of my students was poised to write excellent word choices and we found only one we really wanted in the book, but we were very impressed with the sentences. Good reading!
