Episode 71: Connecting Teaching to Writing A Conversation with Former Teacher and Author, Terri Lilga

This episode is such a treat!

Today, I am joined by my former colleague, Terri Lilga. Terri is a retired teacher, who is now writing books for children. We worked together in Buffalo, NY for a few years. I am thrilled to have her on the podcast to talk about her writing.

In this episode, Terri shares her books with us. She has written the books There’s a Hubbard in My Cupboard and Santa’s Simon. Terri explains how she came up with the ideas for her books - and how she gets ideas in general. She has excellent advice for classroom teachers on how to support children as they are coming up with ideas for their writing pieces because Terri’s stories about how she thinks up ideas are really creative and applicable to children.
