Before becoming independent readers, children need exposure to many ideas, words
and experiences. This knowledge serves as a foundation for reading. Below are links
that will help your child or student  build a frame of knowledge for a select number of my
books. I've included links to several sites that will help make my visit even more
meaningful. Choose activities that fit personal learning styles. Have fun!
