    About Dana A.

    When I was young, I truly loved reading and writing. There was a library not too far from my home. The joy of my day was walking the few blocks it took to get to the library. I would immerse myself into the stories I read there. My passion for reading sparked my desire to travel. I have since traveled to several countries and have experienced many adventures inspired by the stories, I read many years ago. I currently substitute teach for various school districts. One thing I have discovered, many children do not like to read and write. For them they are tedious tasks, however, they can be the catalyst of many adventures. It is my desire to assist children in developing a love for reading and writing. I will assist them in developing their own adventures through reading and writing. In addition, to becoming avid readers and writers, it is my aspiration that each participant will improve in their school course work in these areas. I have written two children's books and a writing development workbook.
