Jessica gave one of the best presentations we have had at the school. It was amazing, it kept the attention of the children, and they were able to make connections with her real life pictures. Showing them her revisions was great. They said she rocked!
Jessica Scott Kerrin was one of the best authors we have had at the school. She successfully motivated our students to want to read her books and provided them with tools to write about their own life experiences, sparking interest for both students and teachers.
Grade 3 students and staff attended and very much enjoyed Jessica’s hour-long presentation. Her reading and PowerPoint slides were very clear and kept the students’ interest. Some quotes from the attendees were: ‘awesome!’, ‘lots of fun’ and ‘really good’.
Jessica’s presentation was informative and fun for our students, and the audio and visual clips throughout kept them engaged.
A lively, interactive presentation highlighting the importance of reading and writing for pleasure. Passionate, personable, and creative, Ms. Kerrin used visuals and humour to engage students meaningfully in learning about the writing process!
My students and I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. The personal touch and visual components that Ms. Kerrin used in her presentation combined to create a very worthwhile session that prompted great discussion with my class afterwards.
Kerrin has a knack for capturing the lives and voices of her young characters, drawing personalities, conflicts, and underlying secrets with realistic dialogue and strong narrative blocking.
Kerrin writes with unusual perception about the emotional lives of young people.
Realistic, everyday situations, likable characters and simple stories written in rich language with solid dialogue and humor makes Kerrin’s readers eagerly anticipate every new installment.
