What if we can’t attend the Festival? We realized that not everyone could attend First Calgary Savings Book Rapport, so here we are with our own interactive educational website, bringing the events authors and so much more to you at home. Who is this website made for? We have built this site for parents, teachers, and students to learn more about Canadian and world literature specifically created for them. WordFest has always been committed to bringing literature alive for students and our ever-popular First Calgary Savings Book Rapport is the result. Every year, thousands of students from across Calgary and outlying communities attend this programme. What will I find on this site? On this site, you and your children will be able to explore any number of fascinating and creative ways to learn more about your favorite authors for young readers. Included in this web site are authors biographies, publications lists, Teacher's Resource Guides and many other surprises and new stuff on the way. Each year, WordFest develops a comprehensive Teachers’ Resource Guide (TRG) to accompany the Festival’s author line-up. The TRG contains detailed biographical and bibliographic information on each Book Rapport author. It also presents book synopses, activity and curriculum tie-in suggestions, and an extensive book, audio and video, and Internet resource list. The TRG's on-line companion available on this site contains everything from the current TRG volume, plus an extensive archive of past resources.
