Never too soon to think about connecting authors with kids!

Broken Dolls 🖤 Read it

I would LOVE to set up a virtual Q&A session with you if that's possible!!

Reading aloud @victoriajcoe.bsky.social Fenway and Hattie with my 3rd graders. I'd forgotten how much fun this series is! #readaloud #kidlit

YouTube video by Victoria J Coe Introducing "Write It in 5!"

Got kids who hate writing?
My new YouTube series Write It in 5! can change that!
Each session gives kids 1 fun or wacky topic & 5 minutes to write about it. No rules. No overthinking. Just prove to themselves that they can write.
Please check it out & share!

That's exactly what I did and am now signed up!

Super excited for this one!

@spookymiddlegrade.bsky.social I'd love to sign up for your annual virtual author visits again this year. Where can I find info?

I didn't know what to expect and I also thoroughly enjoyed it!

Calling all educators! 📚❤️

Teacher & librarian friends! I'm working on this year's list of author volunteers who'll be offering Zoom read-alouds for World Read Aloud Day on 2/5/25! It should be ready in a couple of weeks - be sure to follow if you'd like access to the list & please share this post to let your colleagues know!

Phenomenal list!

Looking for any info on pedagogy behind using activities such as bookmark coloring, puzzles, etc in the #schoollibrary #advocacy

Yes! If you've not yet read the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, I'd definitely start there to see how far Holly has come!

While I started it the last week of 2023, I finished it today. Excellent! 📚
