Come to the Author Showcase at the Reading Tub
Those of you who are regular visitors to my blogs have heard of the Reading Tub. I'm pleased to let you know that I appear in their author showcase this month. You'll not only find the interview with me but archived interviews with other authors. At the Reading Tub, you'll also find a blog (I'm also featured there), book lists and reviews and quality articles of interest to both educators and parents.
In the interview, you'll learn a bit more about the Literacy Ambassador but, as usual, I'm also sharing resources (wonderful picture books for older readers, advice for parents, references to quality book lists, and an announcement about a special kit Maupin has created from my latest books called The Home/School Literacy Partnership Kit). You can also watch my new Youtube video through a link on the blog (playing the game Rhymin' Simon).
Practical, Use in the Classroom Tomorrow Ideas

If you'd like to plan a day with the Literacy Ambassador which could include staff development, a parent meeting, opportunities for students to group write with the Literacy Ambassador, contact me through this blog or TLA's website for more details.
Next post we are back on the teacher channel, providing even more inspiration and resources for honored educators.
