Samantha Vamos

School Visits

SCHOOL VISITS:

Samantha school visits I enjoy speaking with budding authors and artists about writing. The purpose of my presentation is not only to inform and educate, but also to engage and entertain so that reading and writing are thought of as enjoyable.

The suggested audience for my bilingual children's picture books, Before You Were Here, Mi Amor and The Cazuela That The Farm Maiden Stirred is K through 3. My presentation for this age group runs 40 minutes and includes a short DVD about my life as an author; a PowerPoint presentation about my writing inspiration; reading my books, and a question and answer period.

For activities and discussion ideas related to each of my books, please see: http://samanthavamos.com/pdf/Hosting%20a%20Successful%20Author%20Visit.pdf
