Featured Author: Corey Green
Corey Green has always loved reading books,
especially the books that take her on adventures and introduce her to
lifelong friends. Corey has been a serious writer for most of her life.
The first prize she won for writing was for an essay she wrote in sixth
grade.
Today Corey Green writes funny
middle-grade books (grades 4 to 6, ages 9 to 12) that are filled with
mischief and laughter. You can
"meet"
all the kids in the class at Corey Green's author website, which
includes interactive learning disguised as fun. For example,
Story
Writing Tips for Kids (written by character Stefi, the class writer)
helps kids understand how to write their own works of fiction. After
kids understand the basics, they can download a
story planning worksheet to get started.
Corey is a National Board Certified
Teacher with a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and a talent for
innovation in the classroom. When she recognized that her third
graders needed a comprehensive curriculum just for multiplication, Corey
Green wrote the book. Best Multiplication
Workbook EVER! makes learning multiplication easy,
enjoyable and relevant to real-life situations.
Best Multiplication Songs EVER!
teaches times tables with familiar tunes, in the same way students learn
their A-B-Cs. "Every teacher in my school had a copy. Our students
associated the Tens Song with Beethoven’s Ode to Joy," Corey Green says.
Corey Green enjoys making
author visits to elementary schools and
making presentations to professional organizations. Corey is a member of the
Society of Children's Book Writers and
Illustrators and the
International Reading
Association. |
