"Trevor Bryans Narrative Know-How is an essential resource for any elementary classroom, offering a straightforward, bottom-up approach that elevates both reading comprehension and an understanding of authors craft. With a focus on Mood Structures, reading comprehension becomes visually accessible for students and teachers alike, creating a seamless connection between reading and writing.

The included scaffolded response and planning sheets ensure students are set up for success in both analyzing texts and crafting their own narratives. Backed by heavy research, this approach can be used with any literacy program, bringing joy to teaching and learning.
