Reading and writing is a lifelong passion of mine. As is talking and listening. Words are an amazing communication tool and a source of pleasure. As well as actively writing, for more than 30 years and being published variously, I have self published 10 books on amazon and this year (2023), I have had two books published on the subject of how reading is learned and listening to children read. These are available on amazon. A further book, of children's stories, Storytime with Daddy, is in the process of being published and a sequel, Storytime with Mummy is completed.
