"I loved the way you read to us. You
used powerful words and used a lot of expression. I learned that if you
use powerful words and descriptive sentences your story will be more
interesting."

takes a lot of practice to do that. Thank you. And it helps to do lots
of research!!"

showed pictures of the shipwreck and also how we played 'The Price is
Right'."

like that."
