Speaker
Schedule a Visit with Kathy J Perry
in person in Greater Kansas City area—or virtually, anywhere
Public and Private Schools, Libraries, Literacy Night Events, or Homeschool Groups Welcome!
Get to know the person behind the books—me: a former teacher.
Encourage children to read and write by meeting an award-winning, published author. Choose a presentation from my brochure or request something different. Questions and answers go both ways during and afterward.
Write Powerful Sentences (children contribute ideas with enthusiasm)
Five Elements Every Good Story Needs (children will identify these in Moana)
Simple Visit (Best for small groups, it might include reading a passage and/or Q&A)
Kathy J Perry reads to children.
Expect great communication from me regarding a Visit:
A coordinator will meet with me to go over desires, needs, and expectations.
Prior to the visit, each teacher will receive a personalized folder with information about myself, my books.
An appropriate amount of time for the visit depending on the age group. (Younger students 30 minutes, older students 60 minutes.) Printed book order forms will be provided by Chickadee Words for the children to take home to their parents after the visit.
Book order forms and money will be collected by the school. After an agreed-upon deadline, the school will send me the orders, I’ll sign and box up the books, deliver them to the school, and pick up the payment.
Based on the needs of the grade level(s), I partner with your school to provide a relevant presentation that reinforces curriculum standards. I speak with every grade level from kindergarten through high school.
