As an author-educator, I learned a lot from this podcast. I will recommend it to those who want to have a better understanding of the connections between writing and teaching.

I love discovering new books and authors while listening to Kate’s podcast, and I learn a lot as authors/teachers talk about their journeys to publication and share fantastic ideas for the classroom. Thank you, Kate!

I always appreciate the teaching and writing insights gained from this show. Kate is a sincere, thoughtful host who has introduced me to books and authors I might not have otherwise found were it not for Chalk and Ink.

I just discovered Chalk & Ink this week and am binge listening. So happy to have discovered this thought-provoking children’s literature podcast.

What a great show! I love The way Kate asks for specific, practical advice for writers and teachers.

I love this podcast and have gleaned so many helpful, inspiring tips and resources for both my writing and my classroom. My time spent listening is always richly rewarded; I can only listen to about one episode a week, because it takes me time to process and digest all the wonderful wisdom in each one! Kate Narita is such and accessible and insightful host, and her warm, enthusiastic rapport elicits the best techniques and tidbits from her diverse guests. Teacher-writers and writer-teachers, this is your podcast!
