Permission to adapt

I’m writing to you today because I would like your permission to adapt your book King of the Playground into a Reader’s Theater script to offer educators (at no cost) on my website, Literacy Resource Center. My title page would read: Reader’s Theater script adapted from King of the Playground by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. As a reading specialist, I am always interested in ways to increase students’ vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Reader’s Theater is an excellent way to do that.
In his book, The Fluent Reader, fluency researcher Timothy Rasinki mentions your book as particularly adaptable to Reader’s Theater. Please let me know of any procedure I need to follow to use your work in this manner.

I’ve referred you to my agent and see that he has contacted the permissions department at Simon and  Schuster.  I trust that you have heard from him by now.   If not, please let me know.
