ABOUT ME
I have been involved in education in several capacities, from instructing elementary and junior high students to soldiers for many years. In my roles as a parent and educator, I spent countless hours reading aloud. It was an outgrowth of my addiction to books from childhood.

Challenging times

The last thing we all thought we'd be facing this year is a health "crisis". We've had to adapt in some way, shape, or form. My job as a paraeducator was entirely upended in March with school closure. The upside was more time to write. With a new school year fast approaching with all its new protocols regarding student interaction it will be interesting to see how our role as para Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Todd Linder (?)

“Why should children have all the joy of reading children's books? Adults miss out by not engaging as much with good wholesome stories as their children do. Read aloud as many books as they will tolerate and I guarantee you they will become better readers when you model it well.”
― Todd Linder, The Big Sky Boys And Life on the Spinnin' Spur
