Parents, students, teachers and staff gathered Tuesday night at Heritage High School to prove once again that βFrisco Reads.β Library coordinator Leigh Ann Jones was in charge of organizing this yearβs ninth Frisco Reads event, which gathered hundred of people and featured five published authors.
βWe really want to celebrate reading and the written word with staff members and the community,β Jones said. . .
While the younger authors are just getting their feet wet in the literary world, Plano resident Anastasia Suen is working on her 120th book. A flurry of energy, Suen visited 31 Frisco ISD schools this month between teaching writing at ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ Methodist University and for online workshops.
βI talk about the six traits of writing,β Suen said, listing off ideas, organization, voice, sentence fluency, word choice and conventions as the steps she teaches older students attempting to write a book.
