GIVEAWAY: Blooming Writers/El escritor floreciente

Welcome to I Teach Dual Language blog's very first giveaway!  This week, we are offering a resource from the sponsor of this blog, EL Saber Enterprises.  The title of the resource is El escritor floreciente: Dándole vida a mis palabras, a mi mundo/Blooming Writer: Bring to Life My Words, My World.    You can read more about how this resource can be used in your classroom here.
Blooming Writer
Please note, this is not the actual cover of the revised resource.  The resource that will be given away is targeted to grades K-2.  However, after teaching some of the lessons, I think they could easily be stretched down to PK and up to grade 3.

  1. Leave a comment here telling us your favorite mentor text (Spanish or English) to use when teaching writing to your students.

  3. "Like" EL Saber Enterprises on Facebook and leave a comment here telling us that you did.
  4. Blog about our giveaway and leave a comment here with a link to your post.


I talked with several vendors at the NABE Conference and we look forward to oroviding more giveaways of fantastic resources for the bilingual/dual-language classroom.  Thanks for helping us spread the word!

    My favorite mentor text is an of the "Fancy Nancy" series. They come in English and Spanish (which is a plus), and they are fantastic for teaching "fancy words" to enhance writing!

    My favorite mentor text is "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" because it teaches kids to be creative and let their imagination run wild.

    My favorite mentor text is any book my Eric Carle and Bill Martin Jr. I also love David Shannon. My class level is Pre-K so the children really relate to this type of writing.

    My favorite mentor text are any books that kids take a liking to quickly. Robert Munsch offers very comical books. I also love The Story of Ferdinand and Dr. Seuss books as well.

    Eric Carle's books are always good for beginner readers, since they are predictable. For second grade I prefer anything they can relate to and make connections. Also, traditional fairy tales are a favorite!!

    My favorite mentor texts for older students are the Judy Moody/ Stink series by Megan Mcdonald. The fact that they are appealing to both male and female students helps teach my students literacy. Also, they are available in both English and Spanish.
