WHAT THE GROWNUPS SAY:

“Kathy ran a workshop on how to teach story writing to English second language children. Her methods were clever and thoughtful, and her delight in storytelling was so infectious that the whole group felt inspired. We don’t often find people who understand the language barriers we face at work. Kathy’s workshop covered many issues that confront us in the classroom and gave us many ways to solve them.”

…the boys in my Behaviour Class often have such a negative view about writing. However, you not only taught them it is possible, but you also taught me how to become a more effective teacher when it comes to story writing…
