Barbara Reid has been a well-received workshop presenter at the annual Reading for the Love of It language arts conference in Toronto. Her ability to connect her story illustrations, text with pedagogy has made Ms. Reid a popular presenter whose sessions are always well attended. She is equally popular with teachers just beginning in the profession and those that have many years of experience.

We appreciate her valuable contributions and love having her at our conference!

I went to your workshop last year and was very inspired by your presentation and ideas. I was a bit apprehensive about trying it out with my Kindies, but it turned out to be quite a success. They were very proud of their finished work.

Teacher, Alexmuir Jr. P.S. Toronto

Barbara Reid was so inspiring. I loved the hands on part of her presentation. Also, the examples she showed of what children in many schools had done with her ideas was great.
