My school visit presentation is based on my most recent books and is geared towards Grades K-4. My presentation encompasses many literacy/writing concepts including writing personal narratives, the development and organization of a story and publishing a book. Many of my stories are based on my own childhood or that of my children, further encouraging students to write from their own experiences. I do a maximum of three sessions a day which run about 50-55 minutes each. During free time, before or after sessions, I would be happy to sign books.
