Go Where YOU Grow! 5-week Residency Program:
A structured, in-school social-emotional learning residency designed for classrooms and grade-level cohorts.
Over five weeks, author and educator Liza May Read visits classrooms multiple times per week, guiding students through an immersive literacy and SEL journey inspired by her five-story collection Go Where YOU Grow!
Each week includes:
• interactive read-alouds
• group discussions
• journaling and reflection
• creative arts integration
• collaborative projects
• classroom tools and materials
At the heart of the residency is the Author–Character–Quill Method, a simple framework that teaches children how to:
• regulate emotions
• understand their feelings
• make thoughtful choices
• develop resilience
• practice empathy
Every classroom receives a symbolic quill as a mindful tool to pause, reflect, and respond with intention.
By the end of the program, students don’t just learn stories, they learn how to author their own growth.
