SCHOOL VISITS
I ❤ school visits and book fairs! Please invite me -- write carol@carolweston.com.
I've spoken at schools in Alaska and Florida and lots of states in between. One of my passions is getting students fired up about reading and writing.
The ideal school visit? I like to address a big group of kids grades 3, 4, 5, and also talk to the whole middle school. If your school is all-girls, we could do "FOR GIRLS ONLY" or "SEVENTH GRADE CONFIDENTIAL." It's fun when students scribble questions on index cards ahead of time and I answer on stage. Sometimes stores and schools team up, as Politics & Prose did (see below), and it's great when schools distribute book order forms.
And if you have a SPANISH or FRENCH Immersion School, I can present in español or français. Extra fun for me and the kids.
