Jeff Nathan (he/him/his)
Jeff Nathan is a multi-award-winning children’s author of humorous poetry, early middle reader mysteries, a middle reader fantasy, and a behavior-discussion-aiding picture book thrown in for good measure. He co-developed a new technology-based book platform to help students learn to love reading and founded the Children’s Literacy Innovations non-profit to provide the top literacy programs and books for reading stimulation to schools in need. Jeff grew-up with ADHD before there was such a diagnosis. To help students who struggle, as he did, to keep their minds in the classroom, he created CurricuLaughs in Children’s Literacy—curriculum-integrated literacy-focused humor-filled programs that provide critical lesson absorption through humor—for grades within elementary schools.
