Illustrative Studies Book Study is revisited. A few years ago, I helped organize a blog book study on one of my favorite professional books, In Pictures and in Words by Katie Wood Ray.
In case you missed it, I wanted to give you a little walk down memory lane!
Chapters 1-6: Illustrations and Writing
The first few chapters provided the rationale for using picture books to teach the qualities of writing. You can read more about these chapters by clicking HERE.
Chapter 7: Ideas and Content
In these chapters, Katie Wood Ray goes into detail showing connections between teaching ideas and content and picture books. You can read about this chapter by clicking HERE.
Chapter 8: Precision and Details
Check out some of the books that teach precision and details by clicking HERE.
Chapter 9: Wholeness of Text
We picked out a few books to help teach wholeness of text. You can read more about this by clicking HERE.
Chapter 10: Tone
Learn more about books that will help teach tone in writing by clicking HERE.
Chapter 11: Layout and Design
The final chapter is about layout and design. You can read more about this by clicking HERE.

Procrastinator me waited until this week to order (Amazon prime spoiled!) and it says it wont ship now for 1-4 weeks! Looks like its out of stock in other places…anyone see it anywhere else?
I think im just going to order it and hope for the best!
GAH!!!!! I am a HORRIBLE procrastinator too! Don’t worry, you can always catch up if it is not to you in time.
Interesting. I should make a point to get it.
When will be starting our PLC on Interactive Writing? I already started to read, I couldn’t wait! he he
Hi there! I’m going to get my post up TODAY! woo hoo!
I have the same question as Maryann, above – where should I look for book study posts? My book arrived quickly from Amazon – even though when I ordered it it said 3-4 weeks. It was more like 3-4 days!
Yay for the book arrival. I am going to get my post up TODAY! I am working on it RIGHT NOW! Yay!
I just started book…. better late than never!
I totally agree! The best part of online book studies is they are always there waiting for us! I hope you love the book!
