Glen Cove Teacher Reads His Recently Published Book With Students

Deasy School first-grade teacher Steve Bromberg shared his recently published book “Simple Sam Eats…What?” with students and faculty as part of the school PTA’s PARP (Pick A Reading Partner) celebration.

Bromberg, who writes under the pen name Mr. B, has been employed with the Glen Cove City School District for 10 years and said it was amazing to be able to share his writing.

“It’s one thing to share your work with family and friends, but to show my students that their writing can become reality is a major accomplishment,” Bromberg said.

During the assemblies, Bromberg read his book to the all of the school’s students, who were dressed in pajamas, as part of one of many planned PARP activities. He also read the transcript of his new book, which he hopes to get published. In both stories, the main character is trying to overcome his apprehension of trying new things, such as foods, roller coasters, etc.

Bromberg said his goal when writing his books is to make them easy enough for first-and-second-graders to read individually and with their parents. He also acknowledge made them pliable for other teachers to use as part of a classroom lesson.
