Books for Persuasive Reading/ Writing Unit

Mo Willems has wonderful picture books to help children understand persuasion. The pigeon is adorable and tries to persuade people to let him drive a bus, let him get a puppy, and let him stay up late. These books build a great foundation of persuasive language and ways to persuade.

"Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type" by Doreen Cronin, illustrated by Betsy Lewin is a wonderful book to introduce persuasive writing. The Cows write the farmer a letter persuading him to give them blankets because they are cold in the barn.
,
"Hey, Little Ant" by Phillip and Hannah Hoose, Illustrated by Debbie Tilley is another wonderful persuasive text. The ant is trying to persuade the little boy to not squish him and the boy is listing reasons why he should squish the ants. It is a wonderful book for students to decide who they would side with if they were a character in the book.
