School Visits with author Mariana Llanos

VISITS IN PERSON

My school presentations are a fun way to get children excited about reading and writing! My visits are interactive, inspiring and educational.

My main goal is to inspire children to write and create. Also, I'd like to foster the love for reading as a healthy habit.
Your students will benefit from meeting a real-life author who loves reading as much as creating her own books.
Each presentation is geared toward the specific age group... from kindergarten to high school! I have several "lessons" depending on the book we choose to focus. Students must read one or more of my books before visit. Book orders will be available.
I have experience visiting schools. Not only I have visited over 150 schools through Skype, but I've also visited several schools in Oklahoma and out-of-state. My 8 year experience as a preschool teacher has given me the necessary tools to keep children engaged, focused, and motivated.
With older classes, I'll share writing examples, some of my own rewrites and edits, and anyone said rejection letters? Yup! That's all part of being a writer!...
I'd love to speak in Spanish with your ESL or ELL students! As an English as a Second language speaker myself, I'll be glad to encourage them to keep on pushing through the challenges of language learning.
Children of all backgrounds benefit from meeting a writer who is immigrant, and bilingual. Let's break stereotypes together! Representation matters!
