Ideas for Teachers from Teachers
How do you teach young writers to use stronger verbs when writing stories?

Regina Williams' picture book, What If..., is a marvelous book to share before playing WritingFix's Wacky Word Game. The book is a glow-in-dark goodnight story that explores all the what ifs of our dreams. When your students find delight in notions like "What if gumdrops grew on trees?", their imaginations will be primed to play this delightful, story-inspiring word game.

--Corbett Harrison, Reno, Nevada
