Going out into schools, Topher Bradfield has an 18 year history of performing and talking with kids about some of his favorite new books in his famous book talks. Where Topher goes, whimsy, magic, a little bit of mayhem, and an irresponsible love of reading are sure to follow!
There are two different ways to bring Topher into your schools.
Topher Talks
If you are in the Austin area, you can contact Between the Pages at 512-970-7941 to schedule a FREE 45 minute Topher Talk for your class or school. Topher will come in and discuss 4 of his favorite books with your students. This program is offered as part of the local community outreach done by Between the Pages. This program is only offered to private or public schools or homeschool groups of 10 or more within a 50-mile radius of Austin, Texas.
Paid Author Visits
Topher loves to talk books, but he really loves to talk about the books he wrote. Topher offers several full day and half day visits geared to inspiring kids both to love reading and writing. Topher uses the journey of writing his own book to inspire your students in their own writing. Topher also provides worksheets that you can later provide your students so that they can track the good writing they encounter in their reading.
This visit will develop and sustain foundational reading and writing skills that cover the following TEKS for you:
§110.5 (b) 5, 7(all)
§110.6 (b) 5, 7 (all)
§110.7 (b) 5, 7 (all)
