I prefer to do school visits focusing on the first three categories. My lesson plans are in many online collections including GEM (Gateway to Educational Materials) sponsored by ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center).

Open this window to see Breezy Bits which is my website about how to write, sell, and promote stories for children plus information about self-publishing. A friend of mine and I created The Authors and Illustrators for Children Webring which was honored by a listing in The Children's Writers' and Illustrators' Market.

I've also worked as a school counselor and as a school psychologist. Open this window to see my educational site, Learning Abilities Books. The site has books, lesson plans, and other information for children pre-K through fifth grade.Topics include anger and stress management; LD; ADHD; literacy, Dolch sight word activities; character; American patriotic books and music; diabetes in children; learning strategies - study skills; etc. I created The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grade Webring.

My educational background includes these degrees plus many workshops, conferences, and so forth.
