Making Rock Candy

Literacy Place for the Early Years
Scholastic, © 2007

This procedural text is part of a literacy series. I followed a specific word count and wrote the text at a simple level. To make sure the recipe worked, I tested it out in my kitchen. At one point, I had glass jars all over my kitchen counter. It was neat to watch the sugar crystals grow. For safety, the editor and I decided to have an older sibling as the helper because the recipe involves using a stove.
