HOSTING AN AUTHOR

If your school would like to host an author this year, a representative must attend KRA's fall conference Saturday, October 4, 2008 at Standard Middle School and the Prelude on January 15, 2009 at Standard Elementary School's cafeteria. At the Fall Conference you will receive a form which must be signed by the school principal and returned (all other forms needed are posted on this website--just click and print). The author selection is done by a lottery system. You indicate your top 4 author choices and all school names are placed in a hat and drawn out one by one. Authors are assigned according to your place in the draw and your preferences. The price for an author visit is $900.00.  Kern Reading covers the cost of lodging and most meals (schools are responsible to provide the author with lunch). Authors are added through mid-November depending on the number of schools wishing to participate, so check the website often to see which authors will be visiting this year.

YOUNG AUTHORS' STUDENT BOOK DISPLAYS

The 34th annual Young Authors' Fair will be Saturday, May 9, 2009 from 8:30 to 12:30 at the Standard Elementary School Cafeteria. This is Kern County's premiere literacy event for elementary, junior high, and high school students and is free of charge. We are proud to say that each year approximately 25,000 Kern school children and over 90 schools take part in this outstanding event by writing and/or illustrating a book for public display. Each child who has written a book and attends will receive a ribbon to proudly proclaim he or she is a Young Author! Books are not judged, but all books will be on display in the cafeteria. In addition to the student made books, a number of well-known children's authors will present lively and unique presentations about their books and the writing process. Books from all participating authors will be on sale at a discounted price. This is an activity you will not want to miss!
