We’ve been hearing
wonderful feedback about the education you received during ReFoReMo 2016 this year! Check out this glowing review:
“What a great program you all have
created!! I was a fellow in the National Writing project and although
intense...this was right up there!! I can't tell you how much I learned about
picture books,...the writing, the mentor notes, terminology, reading, reading,
reading, and inspiration, which was amazing!! Thank you all for your hard work
and dedication...because that's what it takes to do something this
wonderful!!!”
So yes, ReFoReMo is a
prize in itself! We loved reading all of
your grateful comments…thank you so much for taking the time to leave them for
us! You are a wonderful family!

ReplyDeletePenny, since you are above me,I gather you have more success recently.Congratlations. I kust have signed the wrong blog earlier so here goes. As a past Kindergarten teacher, I wish books like the ones I read last month were availble 20 years ago. YOu really opened my eyes to the wonders of new writers to me and gorgrous presentations.I have had a great time taking notes that I hope will help meand I enjoyed the marvellous array of books you listed. I write a fair amount of NF stories about where we live and so books like Henry 's Freedom Box was right up my street.Thanks so much for all the blogs, the teaching and the fun of sharing.
