I am now offering a new and very exciting literacy enrichment program called “READ UP!  WRITE ON! LITERACY RULES!.  I have designed this program in a way that will bring reading and writing to a new level of excitment. 

AMITY Publications’ program will:

     BUILD the excitement about reading,

CULTIVATE aspiring authors, and

  DEVELOP a foundation for success! 

For grades pre-K to 3, I am offering a one hour or one day visit into a school, story-telling with “Charlie”, appropriate discussion about what it means to be a self-published author, and some fun hands-on activities such as “become an illustrator”. 

For grades 4-6, this program can be between 6-12 weeks…length to be determined by the teacher or staff coordinator.  Here students will become “published authors” of a children’s book.  They will be asked to work with together as a team – the author (someone who likes to write), the illustrator (someone who likes to draw), and the publisher (someone who likes to read).  All three are very instrumental in this process. 

The programs will satisfied a number of curriculums and build skills:   (1) literacy curriculum – student will need to use their reading and writing skills to develop this project;  (2) mathematical curriculum – students will be required to determine the costs of publishing a book; (3)  organizational skills – students will learn how to organize all the parts of creating a book;  (4) team building skills – students will need to work together to create the final project; and  (5) self-esteem building – students will proudly display their work of art at a book release event, to be scheduled after the completion of this program. 

This is a MUST HAVE program for all schools.  What better way to inspire students than to have them meet an ordinary person with a creative talent that can be shared with the world.  Scheduling visits NOW!  Visit my website at www.amitypublications.com for more details.
