 “Reading and writing is my life.” Adora says seriously. She
hopes to use her own success to inspire other kids to take more of an interest
in reading and writing.
“Nowadays children are lacking in reading and writing skills, and they are
saying things like ‘I don't like to read' or ‘ I don't want to write.' That
hurts me very much.”
Although Adora knows her stories are a way to reach out and inspire, she hopes
this website will provide some insights of her success and a platform for
visitors to access additional tool for their own reading and writing.
Adora Svitak is a published author, has appeared on national television, and
dreams of becoming a journalist, historian, humanitarian, principal, teacher,
archaeologist, actress and talk show hostess. By age two and half, Adora could
read and write simple words, and read her first chapter book at age three and
half. She started writing short stories at age four, started to type short
stories at age six, and published her first book at age seven.
A history aficionado, Adora is working on “History Tips for
Kids,” a project she hopes will help other kids realize that history doesn’t
have to be boring. She is especially fond of reading about battles and weaponry,
and her historical pieces are always action packed. One of her favorite books is
The Century for Young People, a gift from the author, Peter Jennings. She also
edits her school newspaper, writes contemporary fiction, and is working on a
pirate epic called The Danger Ship.
Adora also recently completed a unique hands-on guide, Flying
Fingers, which features a compilation of her stories followed by easy-to-follow
writing tips from Adora, her mother, and her teacher.
