Dear Colleagues, As many of you are gearing up for the coming year I thought this information might be helpful for any of you who are planning an author/illustrator visit or who have considered arranging or requesting an author visit. On our page at http://www.mcelmeel.com/bookauthor we have links to several documents that provide rationale, background etc. for why author visits are a valuable tool in motivating reading and writing. You are welcome to reprint any of the articles we have written and send your colleagues (PTA also) to the sites that are from other sources. In addition to the authors we deal with directly -- links on the page; we also have a page of more than 200 author links at http://www.mcelmeel.com/curriuclum/authorlinks.html A companion page at http://www.mcelmeel.com/curriculum/stateawards.html has links to as many state award sites as we have been able to find/verify. I'm hopeful that some of these links might help as you look toward planning any future author visits or for author focus curriculum units. All the best for a great school year.
