PARTY TOGETHER.

 My Magic Carpet of Books
is all gassed up and ready to fly into
YOUR classroom.

 ***** 

 

A MAGIC CARPET to READING

TEACHERS
are beginning to gear up for the new school year.

Lots of planning, enthusiasm, and imagination!

.
not to mention

HARD WORK!
.
 

A love of reading is a joy, and a practical

lifetime resource for all your students. 

I would love to fly my
Magic Carpet of Books
into your classroom or school library.

Picture books also.

SKYPE MAKES it HAPPEN!

Nothing encourages reading and writing like meeting
and chatting with a real life author.

I grew up in Australia, but I now live in Oregon--
so some of my books have Aussie critters and themes.

I show aboriginal artifacts, and chat about writing and where inspiration hides. I read from one of my books, and ask about their favorites. Happy to add whatever a teacher needs.

I conclude with a fun Q and A session.

Each SKYPE visit is tailored to suit the age of the class.

My goal is to
HOOK KIDS on READING

(especially reluctant readers)

Margot's MAGIC CARPET of BOOKS goes GLOBAL!

Send Your Books GLOBAL--
the SKYPE Way!

The HOW

 Skype makes it happen-
like Magic!

The WHY

To reach the widest possible number of kids
and HOOK them on the Joy of Reading.
 

The WHERE
ANYWHERE there is a Skype Connection, and an enthusiastic
teacher who wants class English to thrive! PLUS-- time zones
that are workable for both the teacher and the writer.



 
Below are some of the countries I have
flown my Magic Carpet of Books into:



Numerous USA Classrooms

Plus

India

Australia

New Zealand

Kazakhstan

Skype is FREE to join--
and your Visit can also be free.
What teacher doesn't LOVE a 'freeby.'

WRITERS
A webcam, a computer, and a published book, plus a Skype
 account, and you are all set. Register with Education Skype,
and look for teachers who are eager to give their classes a
reading and writing boost. Let teachers on social media 
know you are eager to visit.

TEACHERS:
This is a wonderful way to HOOK those reluctant readers
on READING, and get others interested in writing their
own stories.

HEY-- It's FREE!  What can you lose?

My Skype visit makes kids aware of 'The Wonder of Words.'
Of how to choose words that sparkle with meaning, and string
them together in a way that paints vivid mental pictures with
 sentences and paragraphs. I show how a book is born, 
developed, and published. A book reading
 + a fun Q and A follows.

Reading is a Magic Carpet Ride

SUPER Skype Visit - in Oklahoma!

A Terrific School Visit Picture

Kids from a 3rd grade class in Oklahoma

I Skyped with today - May 6th 2014

I read to them from Taconi and Claude, showed some Aussie aboriginal artifacts, and chatted about the craft of writing, where ideas come from, and how to HOOK readers with powerful and active words - paint word pictures!  They are reading my Kangaroo Clues and Down Under Calling at the moment.

There were lots of questions to answer and a few laughs and giggles.  Terrific enthusiasm. And none of this could have come about without the help of a dedicated and willing teacher.  My thanks to Mrs Hime - awesome lady!

I felt so jazzed when the visit ended.  I rushed out and told my husband (who was gardening) all about it.  I just love flying in on my Magic Carpet of Books and telling kids about the magic of books.

***************************
