“Your presentation at WC was one of the most inspirational events as you held in your palm 350 lads, who included some of the hardest cases we’ve had in my years there. Keep up the mahi e hoa.”
“David ran two workshops for our teacher only day this year – what an awesome way to start the year! He is engaging, funny and so easy to listen to. David’s ideas are relevant, practical and very useful for teachers – we are all so impressed with his passion, and his focus on keeping things real for our students in Aotearoa.”
“I’ve only just stopped crying. Seriously – I was a mess for most of p 4. Especially loved the way he put time into speaking to them at the end. Made them feel so important. He had them with the pepeha and his gentle demeanor. Does he realise he had some of the most hardcore students eating out of his hand? Coulda heard a pin drop in p 3. We are now very excited to read Porangi Boy – to have him endorse what we are about to do was a real added bonus. It was by far the best part of my week.”
“Oh my gosh! Get hold of David Riley, the Reading Warrior. He runs amazing workshops. His books are very popular here and we also want to get him down for PL and workshops.”
