Shepherding and nourishing writers
Tutoring and Enrichment
I tutor and offer enrichment for writing of any kind from Gr. 2 up.
Tutoring
I work to bring students to grade level whether on mechanics like grammar, punctuation, and spelling, or at the sentence, paragraph, and structure organizational level.
Enrichment
For the writer who is hitting the benchmarks, needs new challenges, wants to stretch their skills, and infuse creativity into the work.
Special Events
From author teas to book clubs to girl's camp, I can put together a writer's event.
The Kristie Chronicles
Bring back the lost art of letter writing with our subscription service!
​
Our program is based on the idea that receiving letters in the mail is a special experience. Children learn the importance of communication, while also gaining confidence in their reading abilities. Letter content and vocabulary/reading levels are customized and personalized by me, a teacher for more than 25 years.
Subscriptions available in 1 month, 6 month, and yearly iterations
that discount long-term.
​
Should you choose the pen pal option, our program can give children the opportunity to write for a real audience, with a purpose, and develop their reading and writing skills in a fun and interactive way. They will be able to express themselves in a creative way, and develop a sense of pride when they see their words come to life on the page.
How It Works
