Imagine a kindergarten author study. Did you know that Angela Johnson writes about families while Eric Carle writes about insects and animals? In small groups, the class examines a basket of books sorted by author and records observations on a similarity chart. After composing and illustrating a sentence about their author, the group’s pages are bound together.
