TESTIMONIALS

“Lydia was captivating! The students were immediately engrossed in her interactive presentation. With over 200 kids, Lydia began the creative thinking process by encouraging the student’s to work together and brainstorm. The entire day was full of creative thinking and Lydia truly motivated the student’s to think independently, write, and draw.  In individual classrooms, Lydia taught a fabulous mini-lesson. My student’s outlined a new BeBa story and everyone had the opportunity to participate. Two weeks later, the students are still working on BeBa projects, from clay models, to illustration, to full, new BeBa stories.  I highly recommend this workshop as a stepping stone for the children’s writing process. It is the perfect bridge to take students from writing about their own life activities to writing with more enthusiasm and imagination.” – Linda Hudacsko, First Grade Teacher Bridgewater, New Jersey

“Lydia is like a movie star to the kids. She is the perfect role model and genuinely inspirational.” – Sheri Weinman, Colorado Parent, mother of author Logan Weinman

“What a spectacular day we had on February 16!  Your presentation to our students was not only perfectly aligned with our writing workshop curriculum, but our students were enthralled by your book, your stories about your grandfather, and your life as an author…The children will remember the laughter and the fun and they will remember the lessons you taught about pursuing your dream, working hard at your craft, sharing your love for stories.” – Lauren Schwatz, Teaching Specialist

“Lydia Griffin is a very energetic and reflective new educational professional—she exhibits strong personal and communicative skills and has demonstrated a great willingness to learn about emergent readers and writers. These are positive assets for any author and presenter. It is with complete personal and professional confidence that I recommend Lydia Griffin for literacy engagements in any elementary setting.” – Lorraine H. Lotowycz, Ed.D.
