An Island Grows

Book Overview
This is the story of the birth of an island, from the first red-hot glow of magma at the bottom of the ocean, to the flowing lava that hardens and builds up higher and higher until, finally, it breaks through the water's surface. And then, life comes to the island. First come the small plants and animals, and later, people. This is a tale as old-and as new-as the ground we walk on.

Supplement for teaching sentence fluency
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book works well for teachers who study Six Traits. It works on teaching short, simple sentences. Students who can write short, simple sentences in addition to long, flowing sentences have achieved sentence fluency.
For Grades PK-8! Great Writing Model!

Lola has crafted a book that is both beautifully written and useful. The illustrations are fun and rich. Not only is the book to be enjoyed, but it teaches. Kids could learn far more about grammar from this book with it's lovely sentences of perfect sequence than they could from books intended to teach. "Stone breaks. Water quakes. Magma glows. Volcano blows." It seems so simple;however for students learning the core of sentences (subjects and powerful verbs), Lola's work has many layers. Fun, craft, and learning--incidental or analytic for older students. You have to get this book. Wouldn't it be fun for kids to write another book about a sequence in science or social studies content and use many of those two word sentences with powerful verbs like Lola does? Get it!
