For Read Across America Week, Webster Elementary invited Iowa children’s author Ryan Sloth to read his books to students. Coach Sloth played football for the Iowa State Cyclones and the Iowa Barnstormers, has coached football for 10 years, and has even acted as a football player in movies such as The Amazing Spider-man and The Dark Knight Rises.

Sloth has had a passion for writing since he was young. Sammy Sloth Sport Superstar and Sammy Sloth and the Iowa State Cyclones are just a couple of Coach Sloth’s successful children’s books that he shared with Webster students. His presentation was designed to educate, entertain, and inspire kids through his stories. He shared about the book writing process, involved students in an interactive skit with an anti-bullying message to go along with his book, Hank the Bully, and emphasized the importance of reading and hard work. 

Coach Sloth has visited over 1,000 schools sharing his stories with students in hopes of inspiring them to become “world famous authors” someday. The students loved every minute of Coach Sloth’s visit! #WebsterPride
