Author Visits

CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS :

Children’s author, Susan Ross, has done over 100 school presentations. She is a member of CANSCAIP: http://www.canscaip.org/Member . Her presentations are for the primary division and are also suitable for grade 4′s. Susan presents to a maximum of 4 classes at a time in the library. The presentations are approximately 40 minutes.

Susan’s high energy presentations start with reading one of her hilarious stories. She then discusses writing,  illustrating, printing and marketing a book. Children learn about the importance of writing multiple drafts, editing and proof reading. Susan’s goal is to entertain while teaching children about the publishing process and inspiring children to read and write for pleasure.

Susan is happy to read her latest manuscript to grades 2 and up  if time permits or at the teacher’s request. Children will be able to give suggestions and comments about the story. This lets the children get a taste of editing and enables Susan to publish a top notch book.

A two-sided order form with information about each book will be provided for parents. Offering children the opportunity to purchase signed books adds excitement to the event, encourages reading and provides children with a keepsake of a memorable school event.
