Reviews
There’s no one who counts more in society than a good teacher. And you are one of those. My guess is your students will remember the project and their part in it for the rest of their lives…What a good time they must have with you as their teacher!

Chaucer in fourth grade – I love it!”

This creative program is designed to help middle-grade students become confident,
skillful authors who have an appreciation of the great writers of the world.

…. Part of our daughter’s academic success stems from Mrs. Carlson’s imbibing a love of reading – and knowledge – that go beyond work in class. Our daughter hardly
ever reads a book without thinking about the social, economic, and cultural milieu in
which the author existed…

Our daughter’s three publications from The Writers’ Club turned out to be a big factor in being admitted to a top prep school. Her writing ability has proven a real strength through high school and college.
