How do you get your students
excited about reading? How do you inspire them to become writers? One of the
best ways to stimulate an interest in books is to make reading relevant and
fun. Diane Belinfanti offers book reading programs that bring her stories and
poems to life. Book presentations begin with pre-reading activities that draw
on the children’s personal experiences. From early grade readers to middle
grade students, children are encouraged to become active participants in the
reading process. Book presentations close with a post-reading activity geared
to the ages and interests of the listening audience.
Teachers, administrators, librarians, and all others
interested in a book presentation
should contact Diane Belinfanti

We look forward to hearing from you and sharing our wonderful stories with your children.
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
Ever since I was a child, I
loved to read and write. Reading opened so many new and exciting worlds to me.
Writing gave me the opportunity to express my thoughts and feelings in so many
ways and about so many things. As a teacher, I make reading part of my students’
lives in the classroom. As an author, I encourage my students to take risks
with their words and to believe in themselves as writers. By my example, I try
to show young people that the key to success is to believe in oneself, work
hard, and always aim for the sky.
