Virtual Author Visits

The book mentioned how beneficial it is to have an author come and visit the classroom and read a book or answer questions from students. It also noted that it is very expensive though. This is why they suggested virtual author visits. This can be done by contacting the author that you wish to do this with and seeing if they are willing to do it. If they are, there are many ways a virtual visit can be conducted. The author can speak with the class using a webcam. The author can also do a live chat. He can also do something on a social media site such as Twitter. This can really interest students in reading even more.
