A Message From Your Seminar leader, deborah hipes Dear Colleague:

In his book, Invitations to the World: Teaching & Writing for the Young, highly regarded young adult author, Richard Peck tells readers, “… a book is the best invitation to the world.” Young adult literature extends invitations to our teens for accessing information, coping with contemporary issues, exploring relationships, solving personal problems, empathizing with others, inspiring social change, recognizing the art of writing, and mostly enjoying the experience of reading — all opportunities to “attend” the world. Because our teens are continually inundated with correspondence from technological and entertainment venues, they need dedicated educators like you to “hand deliver” the books that best welcome our young people to the world.

This year’s seminar, which is NEW for 2013, is designed to help make your selection of classroom and library books for young adult readers a little easier. I’ll be sharing many, many, well‑written, compelling, new hardcover and paperback titles, innovative ideas for promoting these books to your students and practical strategies for implementing currently published literature in your classroom or library. We’ll discuss a variety of genres – adventure, fantasy, multi‑cultural, historical, and realistic fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and graphic novels that will motivate teenagers to read. We’ll consider strategies for introducing these new books and discuss ideas for keeping you abreast of titles available in the future.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing my favorite NEW books, many of which you’ll be able to use immediately in your own programs. I hope today will encourage you to send more of these “best invitation[s]” to more teens and to send the right invitations to the right teens. Together, we will determine the most effective ways to invite our teens to the world of reading and inspire them to accept our invitation with a resounding “Yes!”

Sincerely,

Deborah Krueger Hipes

P.S. If you’re looking for captivating NEW young adult literature to engage teens, this is the seminar for you. We’ll be doing what readers like to do most — talking all day long about books!

I’ll be sharing many, many well‑written, compelling, new hardcover and paperback titles, innovative ideas for promoting these books to your students and practical strategies for implementing currently published literature in your classroom or library.”
