Hello!

As a former teacher (31 years!) I love to connect with students and teachers, and I spend a lot of time doing just that via classroom visits and teachers’ conventions, as well as through this website. On this page you will find a number of resources you can use with your students, including a free novel study unit. Also, I’m currently offering free Skype visits* to anyone who does Space Cadets as a read-aloud with their students. If you’re interested, just contact me via the form at the bottom of the page. (In general, I am mindful of tight school budgets, and keep school visits very affordable, even if you’re not doing a read-aloud).

This site is fairly new, but I hope to expand this section over time. I’ll be adding to Writing With Robin (Ideas and Tips for Young Writers), which your students can access directly, or may give you some ideas you can implement in your writing lessons. You can also access the various short stories in the Cool Stuff section and build reading lessons around those. And, coming soon, I’ll have a YouTube channel will all kinds of short videos for kids relating to reading and writing.

*or Facetime, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, etc.
