Andrea Beaty
Andrea Beaty here. Thanks for checking out my School Visit information!
I learned long ago that boring presentations make me cry.
I also learned that in 45 minutes, I can’t teach an audience of kids to become great readers or writers. That Herculean task falls to the classroom and reading teachers, parents, librarians and media specialists working hard every day.
What I can do in my school presentations is share my enthusiasm, joy and passion for books. (And make the kids laugh a bit.)
I want to get kids jazzed up about reading and writing by sharing my experiences as an author and as a reader. I tailor my presentations to each group and focus on ideas, revision, voice, my reader’s journey . . .
Virtual School Visits
I now offer virtual school visits! Virtual visits combine audio, video, powerpoint, props and a heaping spoonful of silly to give kids a sneak peek into the world of an author.
6 + 1 Traits of Writing
I offer presentations and writing workshops for K-5 on Ideas and Content, Sentence Fluency, Word Choice and Voice.
THREE SILLY CHICKS
I also review funny books for kids along with those amazing children's authors Carolyn Crimi and Julia Durango. For more information, see the link to Three Silly Chicks below.
