By teaching informational writing such as reading and writing recipes, educators can support students to improve their quality of written work. We educate young writers that nonfiction authors write for specific purposes. Currently, we are learning that authors write to describe, to entertain, to provide instructions and to explain.

The Year 1 students have discovered a section of the library that has sparked their enthusiasm in both read and writing. We have many recipe books in our Barbreck Library that young children can easily access. They are bright, colourful, easy to read and to follow.

Happy cooking!
