Once again, we so enjoyed your visit. The kids were talking today that now they have so many ideas for writing. What a neat testimony to the power of your encouragement.

Your presentation to our students was fabulous! The presentation was just the right length to keep the attention of young minds. Thank you for the helpful guide in connecting language skills with reading and writing. It is a great way to help students see the importance of words and how they make the story more interesting and exciting.
