School Visit + Book Reading

Universally Inc. partners with authors and publishers of inclusive children and youth literature to bring learning to life when these creators visit schools to read their books to students.  School visits are done in two formats: (1) classroom visit and (2) school assembly. This offering is especially popular to bring authors and publishers from outside a school’s, nonprofit’s or educational program’s geographic area, such as when an author needs to fly in and stay overnight. The offering is also very popular among communities that are not yet served by the Literacy Leap Initiative but who wish to bring an author whose work is featured in the Initiative.

  • Price. Prices depend on the class size, number of classes visited, the author, and the distance to the school or program from the author’s place of business or residence.
