Family Night – Grades K-6
After an introductory presentation about the process of writing her novel, Engle encourages families to interact in a fun game of win-lose-or-draw with book titles to demonstrate how pictures and words correlate. Reading and book signing to follow. (60-120 minutes)
Don’t take my word for it…
- “Jaimie Engle was an absolute delight to have at our school’s Young Authors’ Celebration! She provided our aspiring writers with wisdom, real life examples that students could relate to, and she sprinkled inspiring and humorous anecdotes throughout out. Her enthusiasm for writing was evident and her genuine attitude made all of us feel like instant friends. We look forward to having Jaimie Engle visit our school again in the future!” —Julie Bosley, Media Specialist, Lewis Carroll Elementary School
- “Jamie Engle is a local author. We just had Jaime at our school and she put on her “Win Lose or Draw with Words” program for our 3rd-6th grade students. They loved her and didn’t want to stop. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for an author visit.” —Lee Alonso, Media Specialist, Roosevelt Elementary School
- “Jaimie is willing to come out to your class and tell her story of how Clifton developed into a story and the tenacity it took to get the book published. She can bring books which she will also autograph when students purchase them. While visiting at Quest Elementary School, Jaimie read aloud from the book along with my students. Everyone took a character parts (like Reader’s Theatre) which thoroughly engaged my gifted students who begged us to “just read one more chapter together.” —Susan Reiter, Resource Teacher, Quest Elementary
- “Very professional, engaging and laid back! The perfect trifecta! Students loved meeting you and learning about your craft! Our middle-schoolers were truly inspired!” —Michele Hipolito, Media Specialist, Ocoee Middle School
- “Jaimie Engle is my favorite classroom visitor. She establishes rapport quickly and easily with students from 4th through 6th grade and creates activities that educate about the writing process. The kids write with joy and enthusiasm under her tutelage.” –Kitt Kane, Gifted Teacher, Suntree Elementary
- “Palm Bay Elementary School enjoyed a family night with author Jaimie Engle on February 19th. Jaimie has a natural way of drawing students and families into her love of writing.

We enjoyed her time with us and expect to see her back to provide some writing workshops in the future. ” –Terri Rollins, Literacy Coach, Palm Bay Elementary
- “Jaimie’s presence in our Young Writer’s Camps has supported our mission as an organization – to celebrate every student’s unique voice and empower them to be a positive influence in their community. We appreciate you Jaimie! Thanks!” —Michelle Riddle, Youth Director, Page 15 Non-Profit
- “Thank you very much for the writing workshops this week in the Melbourne Writing Center of Eastern Florida State College. I have heard nothing but positive comments all week about your writing seminars. Your positive demeanor and conversational presentation style allow the audience to be set at ease, which further allows participants to absorb your wealth of knowledge shared during these sessions. People I talked to felt a connection to you, which prompted their willingness to share their own ideas and ask a range of questions.” —Sharon Cronk-Raby, Writing Center Director, Eastern Florida State College
