Opinion Writing Books for Kids | Mentor Texts for Opinion Writing | Read Aloud Picture Books
Kids have a lot of opinions! But getting them to write those opinions and give reasons can be tough. A great way to introduce opinion writing is to model how our favorite authors share their opinions through mentor texts. Students need to be exposed to examples of the writing genre we are teaching. These mentor texts are not just for exposing students to the genre, but they are powerful for explicitly teaching the structure and features. Here are my favorite opinion writing mentor texts.

THANK YOU!!! I am actually starting opinion writing and these books are great. I do teach 5th grade, however I use a great deal of your resources and gear them for my grade level. I am truly interested in becoming a member to your book club would it be appropriate for my grade level? I use a ton of picture books and sometimes need some ideas. Please share your honest thoughts and "opinion"(no pun here).Love your videos. Alicia from CT

I'm so glad they are helpful Alicia! I LOVE that you are reading picture books with your 5th graders. The book club resources are targeted towards 2nd grade, however. I use 2nd grade standards and the activities are geared towards younger students. You can grab a free lesson here to see if it is a right fit for your students: thecolorfulapple.com/free-all-are-welcome-lesson/
