Features:

Penny and the Punctuation Bee – A unique program about the secret personalities of punctuation marks, including a discussion about a real-life example where a missing punctuation mark repealed an entire law! At the end of the program we have a mini-punctuation bee of our own. I also do a readers' theater version of Penny for grades 4-6.

Alfie the Apostrophe - A fun introduction to punctuation and especially the magical apostrophe. At the end of the program I perform a punctuation magic trick with audience participation!

I also perform my alphabet play for kindergartners and first graders and can do creative writing workshops for all ages.
