You wrote a book and it was published? Hooray for you!
But now you are drowning in a schedule of school and library
visits!
You are a writer NOT a
teacher!
What do you do?
How
do you fill the other 40 minutes when it only takes 5 minutes to read your
book?!
How do you entice teachers to want to use your book year after year?
How do you entice teachers to want to use your book year after year?
That’s where I come in!
I can develop a guide for you to share with teachers and librarians, as well as tailored lessons and activities that you can use for your Author Visits.
I can develop a guide for you to share with teachers and librarians, as well as tailored lessons and activities that you can use for your Author Visits.
I am a former teacher and I am here to help! I am currently creating Teacher’s Guides for
Picture Books, Middle Grade novels and Young Adult novels.
You will receive:
·
An initial phone consultation to talk about your
wants and needs.
·
An a la carte menu for your guide. Pick and choose which topics you want
covered, or go all the way with a thorough cross-curricular option.
·
Activities created specifically for your Author
Visits.
·
A guide fully developed to enrich students’
experiences.
·
Lessons and activities which are "core curriculum
standard compliant".
·
Options for every budget!
I just love helping students connect and engage with a piece
of literature so that it suddenly comes alive for the
individual!
