Talking with Terrill Sullivan, Bayshore Elementary School Librarian after the reading.
I had a great time reading from Surviving Bear Island and then signing books at the Alaska State Literacy Association’s Annual Conference.
Other presenters included:
Steven Layne–author of In Defense of Read-Aloud.
Claire Landrigan and Tammy Mulligan–authors of Assessment in Perspective, Focusing on the Reader behind the Numbers.
Lori DiGisi–International Literacy Association Board Member and English Language Arts Department Head at Fuller Middle School in Farmingham, Massachusetts.
Lisa Richardson–Assistant Professor of Education at the University of Alaska Southeast.
It was great to hang out with educators across the state who are passionate about Literacy. The Golden Heart Literacy Council and the Alaska State Literacy Association did a wonderful job of putting together a meaningful, interesting, and friendly conference.
Signing a copy of Surviving Bear Island for Tammy Mulligan. She and Claire went kayaking in Prince William Sound before coming to the Conference.
Thanks for stopping by.
