Planning an author assembly for your school? Bravo! These events enhance a school’s community and reading culture.
I can help make your author events swing! I specialize in grades pre-K – 6th, just not all at the same time por favor! My Language Arts assemblies combine drumming, rhythmic storytelling with valuable reading and writing tips. For fun, I sprinkle in the four languages I speak: English, Spanish, Japanese–and jazz! And I love providing assemblies in Spanish at dual-language immersion schools.
As an author / storyteller / publisher, I have loads of experience to benefit your school. My goal is for all students to gain a deeper appreciation of the broader world and an energized desire to read and write books. My content aligns with State Education and V.A.P.A. (Visual and Performing Arts) standards.
My school visit options include half-days, full-days, creative writing workshops–and Family Reading Nights (in English, Spanish, or both at the same time.) For information about my virtual events, please click here.
Never put together an author event? I’ll stay in touch and provide detailed prep materials to help you pull it off like a pro! If you already a pro, I think you will appreciate my attention to detail.
Please email me direct for availability and fees, or give me a call at (707) 544-4720 . Note that my Texas school events are booked through www.authorsandmore.com. So if you’re in the Lone Star State, please reach out to Carole@authorsandmore.com. (Carole herself was a school librarian. You will in excellent hands!)
