School Visits
Interested in having a real-life author visit your school ?
Well, I just happen to know one who would love to come!
(Hint - It's ME!)
I currently offer school presentations in two styles
Meet & Greet
1-2 classes at a time (minimum of 6 classes total)
15-30 min in length per group
Assembly Size
3 or more classes at a time
30-60 min in length
These presentations are best suited for ages 5 to 10 (kindergarten through fourth grade). Both styles of presentation include a book reading and a chance for students to ask questions. Longer talks also include a highly interactive presentation about creating stories with emphasis on aspects of characters, setting, and action. Presentations to younger audiences include a book-themed song with actions.
Starting in 2024, you can also add on additional workshops for your students during school visits.
Writing Workshop
Maximum of 20 students
30 min in length
Designed for lower elementary age students
Illustration Workshop
Maximum of 20 students
30 min in length
Designed for lower elementary age students
For pricing information please email us at JenniferGentryBooks@gmail.com using the subject "Author Visit". Include as many details about your event as possible including location, number of classes/students, grade level(s), and which package you are interested in. And please, if you have any special requests, do not hesitate to ask. I do my best to fit the needs of your students and your campus.
It is one of the greatest honors to participate in school visits. Thank you for the opportunity to share my stories with your students.
Getting Books in Hands
This year, we are working together with schools, PTOs, local businesses, and generous community members to promote literacy throughout their communities. Businesses have the unique opportunity to 'sponsor a grade' during one of our visits.
But what does that mean? Once a grade is fully sponsored, ever single student in that grade will received a signed copy of one of my books and an additional copy will be given to the school library. All sponsors have the opportunity to be recognized on our media platforms, and in any marketing associated with that particular school visit. Additionally, sponsors' names will be added to the inside back cover of each book given during the visit.
PD Workshops
COMING SOON!!!!!
We have presented to adult groups before, but starting in 2025, drum roll please, professional development workshops!
Before I was an author, I was (and still am) a nationally board certified, licensed, occupational therapy practitioner. I would love the opportunity to share my knowledge of fine motor skill development and handwriting with your staff. These presentations are an interactive, hands-on approach best suited for elementary teachers. Participants will leave with a literal and figurative tool box of skills and supplies for their classrooms as well as a copy of one of my books.
For pricing information please email us at JenniferGentryBooks@gmail.com using the subject "PD Workshop". Include as many details about your event as possible including location and number of attendees so we can get you a quote asap.
*We are working on approval from AOTA as well to offer this course for continuing education for OT practitioners. Stay tuned.
