SCBWI Houston: How to Level Up Your School Visits
Jul 09, 2025
Online event
How does Marty Chan inspire kids to write with his in-person and virtual school visits? Join us this July 9th to learn how to increase engagement during kids in presentations, like school visits. Learn how to utilize games, how to illustrate concepts in a way that capture the attention of even the reluctant student. Let Marty show you how to structure your visit in a way that brings your presentation to life and gets you invited back again and again. Learn how to give them something to remember! "Marty presented to my class during world read aloud day. It's months later, and the kids are still talking about his presentation!" -Kaye Marc-Charles
