Tired of the same old 'lecture' style author visits? Tired of author visits that are costly and not age appropriate?

Thank you for your interest in Huga Tuga "Reading Rocks"

visit. The performance (developed over the past nine years) has been designed
to compliment your reading curriculum - with input from over 1000 teaching

WHAT
SEPARATES HUGA TUGA "READING ROCKS" THEATER FROM ALL OTHER ENRICHMENT
PERFORMANCES?
"Mr.
Shandrowski was unlike any other author that has visited our school. Instead of
merely talking about his craft lecture-style, he had a set with lights, music,
and special effects to hold the students' interest. He adjusted his program for
all students, thus both challenging and entertaining students from Kindergarten
up to fifth grade. The students and teachers loved his program not only for his
message to use your imagination, but also for the creativity and "magic" that he
used to entertain and engage. I highly recommend the program to every school,"
Joanna Teodosio, Teacher/Cultural Arts Director - Calf Pen School,
Milford CT
IS THIS THE OVERWHELMING EFFECT THAT YOUR SCHOOL IS LOOKING FOR
OUT OF AN ENRICHMENT PERFORMANCE?
"My
daughter came home after the Huga Tuga program, she was so excited! She's in
Kindergarten and she asked if the blue Sea Monster could come live with us with
his stories. How could I say no to a kid who is so fired up about reading,"
Carolyn Leon, Parent, Lordship School - Stratford, CT
"You were the HIT of our book fair (eight other authors participated). It was a wonderful, lively and inspiring presentation. I never saw the kids so excited about reading and the arts. You made their imaginations come to life. Our entire school would like to thanks you for a terrific experience that the teachers and children loved and will long remember,"Allison Doucet, LMS & Cathy Lawlor, PTA - Faringville School, Ridgefield, CT.

A. Reading and Creating "IDEAS".
I will show the children how a simple "idea" can be turned into something amazing if your imagination is strong enough.
Example: The children will "visually" experience how a page in the Huga Tuga & the Seashell Mystery storybook is created. From the first word written to the final design.
Along the way the students will learn that it is ok to make mistakes and the more times you re-write a story the better it gets.
