Literacy Keynotes

When Stuart is asked to keynote conferences around literacy issues, he draws on his experience as a storyteller, author, and artist-in-residence to make connections between oral language and powerful writing. He often includes stories of powerful literacy advocate Lutie Stearns, as well as stories of student writing and learning from his own work in schools.
