During the last few weeks of my son's school, I volunteered to speak at Career Day. I knew it would be good practice for someday doing author visits. And it sure was. I was able to notice what the kids reacted to and see how the school organized my visit. I had thought I'd do my 15 minute presentation two or three times, but they had me do it NINE times! I was exhausted by the end. But it was still great. My main takeaway was that they like to be involved. While I didn't have any activity that had the kids get on their feet, I did show them photos and do a guessing game. That was a keeper.
If you hope to do author visits someday, see if you can be a speaker at a school's Career Day! Or volunteer to read during Reading Week. Get in some practice!
