What others are saying...
"Excellent Workshop! Most useful one I've
ever attended, and the most enjoyable."
- Comment on evaluation form, Farmington Valley Consortium
"It is obvious to me that Cook Up A Story
is a teaching method which can be used in numerous ways. You are selling this methodology short. Based upon my experience
it affords students an opportunity to become active learners in a variety of situations. They are limitless. Thank you
for a wonderful presentation."

"As a Language, Speech
and Hearing Clinician, I found that the techniques she discussed could easily be implemented with children who needed vocabulary
and concept development, improvement of verbal expression, memory sequencing, and practicing with correct articulation...Excellent
- probably the best I have attended."

"Your workshop is the "BEST" workshop I
have ever taken! You were thoroughly prepared and so enthused. In addition to learning something new, we also brought home
stories to use. Thank you for thinking like a teacher and bringing in all these extra goodies."
- D. Pratt, Kindergarten Teacher, Bristol, CT
"I would highly recommend this workshop to any group of teachers, librarians, or storytellers. It can create a higher
level of excitement for readers at all ages...After Mary-Elin told her first story using the apron, I was greatly impressed
and excited. I knew that I could use the apron to tell stories to my fifth graders, and with guidance, they, too, would tell
stories to lower grades."

"I would LOVE another workshop! It's
so hard to get more materials together during the school year, so your workshop was so helpful! I hope you have another with
new stories and materials! I've used all of the materials so far, and my first graders keep asking me for more!"
- M. Gnazzo, grade 1 teacher
