Yipppeeee! You made it! Does that mean it’s time to stop reading picture books? No way! You still intend to write, don’t you? We hope you will carry your newly established writing and research habits into your daily writing routine. ReFoReMo has given you the chance to dig deeper into mentor texts and improve your writing skills.
As you continue your mentor text journey, Goodreads is an incredible resource where you can find the newest releases, write your own reviews, and read books your friends recommend. You’ll also find many incredible picture book recommendations through other sources, including School Library Journal Lists, Matthew Winner’s Let’s Get Busy Podcast, ICL’s Mentor Text Monday, and of course, there is always our ReFoReMo facebook group!

Although the challenge month is coming to an end, our blog will continue year round! We'll continue to support you once a week with featured authors, “THINK QUICK” interviews, and a monthly challenge where we will continue to look at different elements of mentor texts. We also invite you to share revelations by submitting to our Revealing ReFoReMo series. Submission guidelines can be found HERE. We can’t wait to highlight your experience on the ReFoReMo blog!
ReFoReMo is moving to a new blog home. (Yay for fewer technical glitches!) To celebrate the transition, there will be an extra prize opportunity open to EVERYONE, whether you are registered for ReFoReMo or not! Look for more information and the Rafflecopter tomorrow.
For now, take note of all that you have accomplished during ReFoReMo. How many books did you read? Did you reach your personal and ReFoReMo goals of reading consistently? Did you discover new things about your own writing or writing in general? Do you understand how to use mentor texts better? Did you find a new outlook on a book that you previously did not like? Tomorrow is a day of celebration! We’d love for you to share your accomplishments in the comment section of tomorrow’s post. You will be able to claim your winner’s badge at that time, as well.
Happy Reading and Researching,
Carrie Charley Brown and Kirsti Call
