New & Noteworthy News!

What a great response!

How wonderful to get so many responses to my offer for a free book during Literacy Week. As you can see there were 27 responses to my blog "Celebrating Literacy" in just one day-- today, and that's not all. For whatever reason,(computers, like people, are not perfect) there were 11 more that the Authors Guild, with whom I have my web site, placed in an earlier blog called "Fun Learning Apps" that I wrote way back in June. Go figure!
The web manager suggested I cut and paste those here, since some of the comments were made quite early today and should be listed among the first 20.
Wish I could send more books, but I can only keep it at the first twenty enrants, who will receive an autographed book by the end of the month, at the latest.

Thanks so much for this great response and for your many kind comments. How lucky we authors are to have terrific teachers like you reading our books to your students. It sure made my day!
HAPPY LITERACY WEEK!

Mrs. Berkes came for a visit to our school(Cypress Ridge Elementary) and shared her wonderful books! The students loved the infomational texts and the way she made the stories rhyming. Fun reads!

Our students love having Mrs. Berkes at our Writers' Wall of Fame. The love to hear her read and tell the story from her books. We are growing readers and writers and Mrs. Berkes is supporting our efforts.
