Think Globally, Act Locally!

At the Write to Learn Conference, we bring the very best internationally-known keynote speakers, seminar leaders, and authors to you so you don’t have to travel halfway across the country to hear them (and pay an arm and a leg to get there and back). And when you add over 50 informative, entertaining breakout sessions on all aspects of literacy—reading, writing, drama, workshop pedagogy, integration with other content areas, etc.—you simply can’t go wrong!

Come to the 2009 Write to Learn Conference, to be held February 26-28, 2009 at the Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach, Missouri, and you get all of this—and much more. Browse the large selection of exhibits in the exhibit hall; attend the Late Night Open Mic and read that new poem you just wrote; play with the giant Magnetic Poetry board and enter our Magnetic Poetry Contest for fun and prizes. And that’s just a sampling of the stimulating activities available.

But let’s not forget the speakers. This year we will feature respected literacy experts Frank Serafini, Kylene Beers, Bob Probst, Michael Ford, and Carol Jago. And then there are the authors—internationally-renowned poet Naomi Shihab Nye and young adult novelist Chris Crutcher.

We truly believe that the Write to Learn Conference offers you the very best language arts conference experience around—and for the best price. Click on the buttons above to navigate through the program to see what we have in store for you, then go to the "How to Register" page to sign up.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
