Well, <em>Time<\/em> also makes interesting and easy to read books called <em>Time for Kids<\/em>. Even though this book is \u201cfor kids,\u201d it actually has a lot of really good writing tips.<\/p>\n<p>When I teach academic writing, I talk about brainstorming and prewriting, topic sentences, proofreading, etc. This book teaches all of the same topics using simple language and examples. There are sections on non-fiction writing (like writing essays for class), and also fiction (stories), poetry, newspaper reporting, and more. I think <u>any<\/u> English student could learn something useful from the Section 1: Prewriting pages about \u201cchoosing a topic\u201d and the Section 2: Drafting pages about \u201cnonfiction writing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> You do NOT have to read every page in this book. Find the topics that look useful for YOU and read those first.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gr-assets.com\/images\/S\/compressed.photo.goodreads.com\/books\/1344269841l\/1079650.jpg\" alt=\"1079650\" width=\"229\" height=\"343\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
