5-Part Webinar Series - A Deep Dive into POV Writing
“Bring me” to your school as a virtual author in residence! A super fun, flexible, and affordable series, the 1st 4 sessions are recorded so students or classes can start, stop, or go back on demand. Includes a live Q&A with me. Perfect for grades 2-5. NOTE: If you purchase the webinar series for all 4 of those grades, Q&A sessions for grades K & 1 are included at no extra charge.
“A refreshing way to teach students how to be the best narrative writers they can be! Victoria breaks down writing strategies in smaller chunks so students can be successful. She also shows how to teach students the writing process, including fabulous tips for editing and revising work. I have been using these webinars since 2020 and find so much value in them. The proof is in the amazing tales the students write during this process.”
- Rayna L. Freedman, Ed.D.
“I want you to know that more kids and parents commented on our Zoom meeting with you than any of our other in-person author events! Thank you!” - School librarian Jacqui Murk
Q&A
Connect with me on the platform of your choice! Perfect for an individual classroom, a whole grade, or a combination of grades. Tip: Decide ahead of time if students will be invited to the camera to ask their prepared question or if a moderator will facilitate questions.
