The Workshop

Our Time Together

One unforgettable hour. Every activity is adapted for PreK, Kindergarten, or 1st grade. The time can be shortened or extended, as needed. Kids with extra support needs are always included.

📖

Story Time

Kids join in on every page, acting out characters. Energy is high from the very start.

~15 minutes

Get Up & Move!

The classroom becomes a giant Spanish literacy game. Kids work in teams to physically build words and race each other to master the letters. It's loud. It's silly. It absolutely works.

~20 minutes
✏️

Cool Down & Create

Time to put it all together. Kids use activity sheets directly inspired by the books to practice their new Spanish reading skills on paper.

~15 minutes
🏆

Show & Tell

We close by celebrating what every single kid accomplished. They share, cheer each other on, and leave with the confidence of a reader who knows they can do it.

~10 minutes

Every child, every ability. Sessions are designed to fully include students with mobility assistance needs and those who need extra support to catch up. Activities are adapted in advance so no child sits on the sideline.

🎒
What's Included

We Bring Everything. Zero Stress 🙌

Meet the Author

Hi, I'm Ashley! 👋🏾

Author · Literacy Advocate · Google Marketing Leader

As a proud Latina and African American mom, I built the series I wished existed: phonics-first, 100% Spanish, and full of stories that feel like home.

These four books are built the way kids actually learn to read: with repetition, movement, and joy. The workshops I run in schools bring those same ideas off the page and into the hands of every child in the room.

What Families Say

Real Readers, Real Reactions 💛

★★★★★

"A lovely gift for our nearly 5-year-old daughter who is learning to read English at school and Spanish with her dad. The sentences are simple yet entertaining (she loved how some rhymed!); and the section at the end where kids can play crosswords and other games makes the story last even longer 💗 Would highly recommend!"

— Elodie
★★★★★

"As an Early Intervention therapist, I love ¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Conejo! It’s perfect for early literacy and language, supporting vocabulary expansion and phonological awareness. The interactive pages make it great for therapy and parents can use it at home to practice reading, asking questions, and building early language skills. I can do so much with just this one book!"

Quick Questions
How much does an author visit cost?
Each visit is $250 for a 1-hour session with up to 30 students. Each additional class within the same school is an additional $75. Payment can be made via cards, check, or transfer. We also accept 30-60 day payment terms. We cover the cost of travel for bookings in DFW, Texas; Guilford County, NC; West Palm Beach, FL; and NYC.
Where are you based?
Most of our visits are in the Dallas-Fort-worth area, but we travel throughout the 50 states. I am originally from Greensboro, North Carolina.
Which language are the sessions hosted in?
Kids pick up super fast, so it’s best to host it 100% in Spanish, but we’re happy to mix in English to make sure no students are left behind.
Do students need to speak Spanish fluently already?
Not at all! The session works best for dual immersion schools, bilingual classrooms, and Spanish classes.
What grade levels work best?
The sweet spot is PreK through 1st grade (ages 4-6). Activities are adapted so a PreK class gets a modified experience from a 1st grade class, even in the same school.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Each visit is interactive with kids working together, so they are designed as in-person engagements. Feel free to reach out for 1:1 virtual English tutoring.
How long is the session and how much space do you need?
The workshop runs approximately 1 hour, but is flexible to fit your schedule. A standard classroom works fine, but kids do move around, so just make sure there's room to push chairs back.
Do we need to prepare anything or buy supplies?
Zero. Nothing. Nada. Schools provide the kids with enthusiasm. That's it.
Can we order books for our students?
Yes! I can coordinate discounted book orders for classrooms and families..
Do you visit in summer or only during the school year?
Both! Summer is actually a great time to book summer camp guest speaker sessions, library summer reading programs, nonprofit literacy events, and community programs. Reach out early, summer spots fill up fast!
How far in advance should we book?
At least 4-6 weeks ahead is ideal, especially for back-to-school and Hispanic Heritage Month programming.
