The Power of a Good Read


Welcome to Literally Speaking!

This is a blog created for the fifth and sixth grade language arts students of Mrs. Caraway at The Odyssey Preparatory Academy. This is the spot where you can review books you have read, recommend books you have loved, and "share journal" about books you are currently reading.

I am very excited to hear your honest thoughts and critiques of literature but remind all to make sure the tone and words reflect respect and wise word choices, whether you are commenting on a book you have read, a specific author, or responding to the posts of others. Also, keep in mind this is a blog for language arts; please do your very best to use correct English, spelling, and punctuation. It's important to practice these skills whenever we can!

As you read and respond, it is my hope that you will discover new books and authors you will love and share with your fellow readers stories that have inspired you.

Thank you, and happy reading!
Mrs. Caraway
