What can we learn from the texts that we admire the most? How can they inform our own writing?

Today we’re joined by authors Carl Anderson and Matt Glover. Carl’s latest book, A Teacher’s Guide to Mentor Texts, is part of the Classroom Essentials Series, and takes teachers through all the fundamental steps to using mentor texts in their practice. In this conversation, Matt and Carl discuss why mentor texts are useful, how to pick an appropriate mentor text, and ways that you can introduce them to your students.
