Hello you wonderful Grade three people and Mrs Clarken,
What a great idea to focus on many other words to use instead of ‘said’. It makes your stories so much more interesting for your audience. I really like to collection of alternatives you found in ‘Stelluna’. I love the idea of being able to listen to people read a series of very popular stories.
Enjoy your week.
