I LOVE reading! and reading to others, especially children. As a Principal and educator of 50 years, I always read in my classroom, as Tutor, volunteer teacher around the world and as a Principal to large and small groups of students at a time. Additionally, I was trained via classes at the Los Angeles Music Center on story telling methods. Who doesn't like a good mystery book? As a precocious reader I was known as Lady Snoop in my younger years and friends sometime still call me that today. I love reading a good mystery and hope my enthusiasm excites each learner and rubs off on each young Sleuth who enrolls with me in Young Explorers Book Series "Solve-Them-Yourself Mysteries. Hope to see your young sleuth today!
