For older adolescents it should be just fine.<br /><br />My only experience on the matter is with 10-11 year olds who struggle with their reading.

As a teacher I do have to tell you, you would be so surprised how they react to this type of writing, even the boys. We use this kind of writing all the time to teach both reading and writing. I did add something to explain that yes it would be for older students. I did think that needed to be explained.Writerly Wanna Behttp://www.writerlywannabe.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898791543093077881.post-17396182553224367892011-05-21T15:52:17.538-04:002011-05-21T15:52:17.538-04:00Since Katie is eleven I'll assume the story is...Since Katie is eleven I'll assume the story is intended for children of similar age.<br /><br />First of all, this would be a great story for an adult audience but for 10 year old, I'm not so sure.<br /><br />Perhaps it could work for the girls but some of the language might be too flowery/abstract for the boys. Their attention starts to wander when that happens.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293649194823360181noreply@blogger.com
