BOOK IT!

Our staff and students were very impressed with Ellen Leventhal's presentations. She captured audiences at every grade level 1st-6th. Our teachers commented on how she was able to relate the writing process with the concepts that the students are taught. It was very apparent that she has teaching experience which was valuable to her presentations. We highly recommend Ellen as a visiting author for all grade levels.

Ellen Leventhal is an amazing presenter who tailors her presentations to meet the needs of all students and age levels. I am amazed at how she can talk about her love of writing, how to become a writer, encouraging students to do what they love, and how we can all be kind into a 45 minute presentation. A school visit from Ellen Leventhal is a treat for everyone!

It was such a pleasure having Ellen Leventhal at Beth Yeshurun Day School. Her ability to engage the students while conveying such an important message is remarkable. Her book, Bully in the Barnyard, depicts the importance of the upstander and students were able to connect with the story with Ellen’s enthusiastic presentation. Ellen presented to our K – 5th graders and was able to distinguish the message for each grade level in an appropriate way.

Ellen is able to engage students and bring them into the creative process. She speaks to children at their level without being condescending. Confident and entertaining, Ellen is a wonderful public speaker that is naturally easy to listen to and she instills a contagious enthusiasm for writing. After touring with Ellen for an entire season, it is without reservation that I can highly recommend her. She has been wonderful.

Ellen Leventhal was a joy to have at our school! She tailored each presentation to the specific grade level and was able to go from a pre-k group to a 5th grade group without a hitch! Our students were so engaged, they didn't even realize they were learning about cause and effect and the writing process!

The CTW’s students’ lives have been infused with a whole new love of reading thanks to you and your beloved books, and our jobs as librarians and teachers have been made a little easier too! We look forward to many more visits from one of our favorite authors.

Loved having Ellen at The Branch School today! The students (and teachers too!) were enthralled with her presentation on her books, as well as themes of bullying and literacy. The students learned that they are all authors.
