Books for Teachers Catalogue
I am proud to be part of the Books For Teachers Catalogue.
This catalogue is a collection of books and resources created by a group of Australian Independent Publishers, many of whom are teachers, as well as authors.
Our aim is to make teachers, librarians and parents more aware of the exciting resources that exist outside the realm of the big-name publishers. We want to celebrate the amazing inventiveness and professionalism of the many micro publishers that are flourishing in Australia.
Each book in the catalogue has a detailed Teachers’ Guide or Book Guide with discussion questions to ask before, during and after reading as well as a pack of useful pdf resources to extend the learning opportunities associated with the book.
By purchasing resources from this catalogue you will be supporting local, Australian authors who are keen to bring relevant, vibrant books into schools.
You can download your free catalogue HERE, to view the books and resources from 36 Australian authors.
This is my page in the catalogue. You can purchase Nate's Noisy Nose and printable resources HERE.
Schedule a Virtual Author Visit!
I would love to come to your school to do an author visit!
My visits are virtual which means I can visit a school anywhere in the world. The programme consists of:
-
10-minute interactive video where I talk a little about my writing career and how my picture book, Baby Worries, was created. I then read the story.
-
Follow-up lesson plans suitable for different age/ ability groups, where the children create their own story.
-
A Baby Worries magazine in pdf format with 10 pages of printable activities for class or home use.
-
A 40-minute live zoom session where the children can ask me questions and share their stories.
What does it cost?
$100 AUD which is waived when the school prints and sends home my book order form, and secures 10 book orders. Parents have one week to return the order form to the school. Then the author fee/book order payments become due and the zoom session is arranged.
How does it work?
After watching the video, the teacher sends home the order forms. The lessons can be done on the same day (or later) & the zoom session is booked on a day to suit.
There's a competition too!
Students can win prizes by completing the competition on the back of the order form. The school will also receive a FREE set of books just by returning twenty entry forms.
How do I find out more/ book a visit?
Simply email me at frances@francesmackay.com and I will answer any questions you may have and send you all the details. I look forward to the possibility of meeting you and your class.
