A while back I changed the wording on the kidswrite4kids.com link to this blog. I wrote that this is a blog for teachers and parents wanting to help kids become better writers.
Since then, however, I have not directly addressed parents and teachers. I still had some things I wanted to finish with kids. Also, I feel that what I’ve put on the blog so far could and probably should be used by adults with kids.
Today marks a turning point. From here on out, the audience for this blog is adults helping kids to become better and more enthusiastic readers and writers.
I am an evangelist for reading and writing. In my last blog I talked a little about how I learned to read late—in fifth grade. My teacher saved my life. In a real sense she gave me back my life. Over the years I have turned many children on to the joys of reading and writing. This blog is from now on an effort to join forces with you to continue this essential work.
In addition to the blog, I look forward to coming to speak to any parent group that will have me! My fee is very reasonable. Just email me at storymaker@aol.com and put “speaking” in the message line so I don’t delete it.
