Liaison by Day, Author by Night

Jeanne Kraus, Reading Specialist and NESS Liaison at Margate Elementary, knows what to do with her spare time. She writes books for children. Her second book, Annie’s Plan, is the story of an elementary-age girl with problems in focusing her attention and organizing herself at school and at home. Jeanne’s special interest is Attention Deficit Disorder. Her first book, Cory Stories, was inspired by her younger son and published in 2005. The use of literature to help children work through their problems is a problem-solving technique Jeanne has used for years. Children identify with the major characters in her books. As a reading specialist, she enjoys reading her books aloud to classes and discussing the challenges that her characters face.
