How to Plan an Author Visit to your Classroom

Hosting an author visit is a great way to promote both reading and writing in your classroom. A properly planned and implemented author visit allows students to meet and talk with a favorite author and learn about writing for a real audience.

The possibilities for author visits abound, and some can even be arranged via higher tech options such as Skype and virtual author visits - thus opening your visit up to authors who are not in your local area - or even in the same country!
