April 23, 2012 I love it when I can bring the Reading, Writing, and Rhyming School Tour to a classroom just as history is being made. A 4th grade student from Poestenkill wrote a story about a two tailed dragon, and now it's going to become a play that gets the entire class involved - and they'd now like to tell you about it in song.
April 17, 2012 I'm very excited to be able to offer this. It might be a first in the 17 years that I have been conducting the "Reading, Writing and Rhyming" school tour. See offer below - but you better act NOW
April 13, 2012 I'm not sure if you folks are aware of this, but the Reading, Writing and Rhyming school program also operates in the summer. If you are a summer school teacher or counselor, you can fill up the limited availabilies right now.
March 16, 2012 I'm so sick to death of the media ripping schools apart for the things they don't do right. You'd never know it in my book. Follow me now as we visit another great Albany area school and hear from some incredible kids on National Incredible Kids Day.
March 12, 2012 The anti- bullying crusade continues here at Townsquare Media. We are continuing to take the message to schools throughout the Capital Region through the "Reading, Writing, and Rhyming Tour", and thanks in no small part to Hannaford Supermarkets for sponsoring the program. Here's the latest song creation from the super-singers from Van Corlaer Elementary in Schenectady.
February 28, 2012 Once again, I experienced a 24-hour period where I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. It happened right after I visited Slingerlands Elementary School. These kids love to read and SING - what a perfect fit for the Reading, Writing and Rhyming Tour.
February 16, 2012 I had quite the experience today . I might be smiling about this one for the next week! I spent the better part of the day in a town that was vaguely reminiscent of my hometown - Salem, NY! I actually had two very good reasons to go there!
January 20, 2012 If you are asking why I like writing songs with elementary school kids just read some of these thank you letters. You'll never wonder why again!
January 20, 2012 Early to bed, early to rise-exercise, exercise, exercise! (I don't know if that was the original saying, but I tweaked it!) Exercise has to begin with the young. How young? How about first graders? Not only are they great exercisers, they're even better rhymers!
January 6, 2012 You've heard the fun songs Richie has created with kids on the Sean and Richie Show with his Readin', Writin' and Rhymin' Tour. But maybe you'd like to see him in action. Well, you can-this Sunday on Fox News at 10:30am. The show you're looking for is "Parentology".
December 30, 2011 This class thought I was crazy. I asked Mrs. Nugent's class at Saddlewood Elementary in Colonie if if they thought they could create and record an anti-bullying song in an hour or less. I got varied responses at first. But like every class I've ever worked with, they succeeded, and it was AWESOME
December 29, 2011 It's Friday night at about 11:15PM. Been up since 3:45 this morning. It's been a very long day, but I would do it all again in an instant. I had the honor and privilege of being invited after the show to go to Schoharie Elementary School to help kids write a song about the devastating floods. I'm so proud of what they came up with that I want to get this out tonight!
