What makes Johnnie W. Lewis and/or her FIVE FINGER PARAGRAPH worth having on my TV/Radio show any time of year?

Besides the fact that she's funny, exciting and excitable, she is knowledgeable about a wealth of topics! Pick one! If she doesn't know about it, she'll make you think she does! Johnnie is never at a loss for words, even when she's at a loss for words. She is adept at adapting and adopting interviews, whether they lean toward education (homeschooling or classroom), communicating with spouses, learning a new occupation, Scouting, or organizing oneself and others.

Here are a few ideas that might fit into your production plans:

How Does a Sixth Grader Spell ESSAY? F-E-A-R!

Fear of Essays can rot your gut!
A simple five paragraph essay is as easy as the five fingers on your hand.
Send your student back to school with confidence -- new clothes, new shoes, and new writing skills!

As Strother Martin once said, “What we have here is FAILURE to communicate!”

Why students write to fail, not fail to write!
We teach our own children to speak, but not to organize their thoughts.

Why 75% of High School Graduates Can’t Write an Essay!

Their dogs have indigestion.
Their cats needed a place to pee.

The essay assignment that EATS SIXTH GRADERS!

If their dogs won't eat it, isn't it dangerous?
Why students hate writing assignments that came out of left field.
The fear that paralyzes the hand, mind, and brain.

WRITING IS A FORM OF TERRORISM to a Sixth Grader!

Children fear what they can't see.
Children can't see thoughts.
Thoughts are rarely organized and are therefore, sometimes, feared.

You’re Never Too Old to Learn (And Earn!) a New Life!

Necessity draws on the NEED in us.
Learn to draw out of necessity.

People abuse because they were abused!

Learn how to break the abuse cycle.
Nail holes in a child's heart won't heal.

How to Survive Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Explorer Scouts with a bug in your blouse!

Learning to camp when the nearest Holiday Inn with the black and white TV is in another state.
Learning to tolerate critters with 6 legs, but those with 8 legs have to die!
Tying knots is woman's work!
Watch the Dads screw it up, then show them how to do it!
Mothers of Eagle Scouts have earned their wings, too!

Organize Yourself First (Then Organize Your Boss and His Boss and Her Boss!)

Step One: Don't step in his shoes or on them!
Step Two: Listen carefully, then do it your way!
Becoming organized is not for Sissies!

It's a Woman's Disease!

There are more people with Lupus than MS, MD, and Cystic Fibrosis combined, so why is there so little awareness and support for those who have it?
Watching your loved one die slowly is excruciating!
The Dorough Lupus Foundation is the product of a brother's love for his Lupus-victim sister. Howie D. of the BackStreet Boys lost his sister, my cousin, Caroline Dorough Cochran, to Lupus.

CREDENTIALS: Johnnie was a certified teacher before she realized that if she spent more than a day in the classroom, she might be in jail for murder! So she allowed her certificate to collect rust and dust, grabbed her BBA, and flew down the fast lane to the business world. But since teaching and training others came as naturally as breathing to her, she finally put her talents to work writing children's books that teach. Then she had to teach herself to draw at the age of 45! With 12 books to her name (one is about Lupus!), she now teaches teachers, parents, and students to survive paragraph and essay writing, through her well-known series of THE FIVE FINGER PARAGRAPH© books. Without the battles! And from the school of life, she's learned how to laugh about life, love, and the pursuit of pursuing!

AVAILABILITY: Nationwide by arrangement and via telephone. Sometimes available on short notice.
