PRESENTER: KWAME ALEXANDER
Join New York Times best-selling author, Newbery Medal winner, and poet Kwame Alexander in this mini webinar on April 26 at 6:00pm CT. Alexander will offer ways educators can use poetry to have students share their thoughts and understanding of a text.

During this engaging presentation, Kwame Alexander will share real examples of how this quick, easy genre, combined with books students choose to read, can cement their love of reading.
