In our day together, I will teach you how to create a class of real non-fiction writers who love to write. You will bring home engaging craft lessons that bring excitement and spark to your reading/writing classroom at your grade level, achieve off the charts success on the STAAR test, and infuse your literacy teaching with passion, joy and confidence.
I look forward to working with you.

I cannot say enough about this conference. It was hands-on and very interactive. Not only did I learn things about teaching my students, I also learned about myself as a writer and I want to start writing my own stories. Hands down, best conference I have attended--worth every penny! Holly Pace, grade 8
