The book for February will be nonfiction. It will be about one subject. You could select a biography or autobiography, or another nonfiction book about a single subject.
We will focus on external text features and internal text structures/patterns in these books.
For this month only, the required page minimum is reduced to 47 pages, but of course your book may have more pages. Select a book that is at or near your reading level.
