Have you ever read a book that was so good you couldn't wait to tell someone about it. What was it about the book that made it so wonderful? Was it the plot? The author's use of imagery, the tone, sensory or figurative language; or the adjectives and verbs used? Maybe it was the humor or how the characters developed and changed throughout the story. Or could it have been a problem that you could relate to? All of this, and more, has to be taught to students. They have to understand these skills and apply them when reading and writing. Using quality texts to serve as examples assists students with these tasks. When specific skills are introduced in class, a book that models the skill will be used in the lesson to help students understand and implement.
