BRONX AUTHORS

BRONX AUTHORS
Literacy and early childhood Learning Center.
"Develop the Author in you"

Mission & Philosophy

Our Mission is to develop confidence in students for literacy and critical thinking through visual, reading and writing skills strategies to manuscript and book publication.

We teach our Students to make meaning from the world around them, gain confidence in their own ideas while respecting those of others, and to contribute to a thoughtful debate amongst a group of peers through
class interaction to boost academic achievement.


Bronx Authors Programs are carefully structured to meet the developmental needs and interests of students. By remaining truly student-centered and making sure each student understand step by step instructions, before proceeding to the next stage of our curriculum. Our instructors assist each student to develop a sound research work before publication.

This program grows from Toddlers to Pre-K through High School students.

Our core programs are:

Toddler and Pre-Kindergarten Program: Developing Visual, reading and writing skill strategies for Family Day Care children only. In Bronx Authors we believe that every child is born with the innate ability to make
meaning, to ‘think’ through what their eyes see. We focus on the needs and abilities of early childhood development. We use Training videos and books from: Rock and Learn and my baby can read.

Kindergarten Programs to High school: Weekend and After School Program. Developing thinking, Visual, reading and writing strategies for publication and video production.

LEARNING From Idea, manuscript to publication.
Student idea start by story telling illustrations sessions which is further developed into writing or manuscript by the student through the help of our team of staff writers and editor. The student manuscript is copyedicted. An editor check the manuscript line by line and correct spelling grammar, punctuations and character- by- character proofread . The editor make suggestions to improve syntax, and recommend structural changes to improve overall readability and for marketability.

We determine whether to publish in full colors or black and white, ranging from children books to cookbooks, family photo albums, art and photographic portfolios, recipe book, personal adventure books, illustrated picture books, sports books and life stories book.
