Presentations

As an educator for more than 35 years, and presenter for over 10 years, I have shared with audiences of all ages. I have presented to toddlers through senior citizens - students, educators, librarians, parents and community members around my home state of Arizona and across the country, all the way to Montevideo, Uruguay, South America. My audiences enjoy learning and sharing. I incorporate cultural, as well as family history and traditions into reading and writing - encouraging love of literacy. Most exciting to participants of any age is how they can bring to life for themselves and their families what I teach; write about the past and present to preserve their histories for future generations. This experience encourages individuals to learn more about and embrace their own lives to ultimately respect all who share our Planet.

I take threads from the child within me and blend them with the adult I've become. Then, I weave them into stories which are the tapestries of life. These I share from my heart to yours.

Participants' memories and creativity come to life as their senses of sight, smell, sound, taste and touch are energized through interactive activities and audience participation.

"Roni is a terrific presenter." Title VII Coordinator, Carolyn Grenz, Hillsboro, OR

• Language exposure was great! Students learned a lot in a little amount of time.
• It is absolutely worth the additional expense for transportation & travel to bring Roni out-of-state because her presentation is very relevant to students with different cultural backgrounds. Many students could relate; also because students were able to hear more about the writing and publishing process from someone who has really done it and DIDN'T GIVE UP!
• They love the bilingual aspect!
• It is important to bring authentic authors who can relate to our students and encourage their literacy.
• The "hands-on" features that Roni and her husband shared were unique and made the stories come alive. They were so enthusiastic!

Presented in: English, Spanish or both - per request.
