In the last few years of my time working in education I was heavily interested in the research and science of reading. My passion in this subject led me to develop my own decodable reading book series for emergent readers called “Reading Sprouts”. As the author and illustrator of this series, I have spent five years producing and publishing sixty books that make a child’s first steps into reading as easy as possible. They have been praised by experts in the field of reading science and have been published by an American educational publisher, High Noon Books, that sells them directly to educational institutions throughout the USA. My Book Series was one of two selected by my publisher to represent them during the International Dyslexia Conference in San Antonio, TX, 2022 and again at the International Dyslexia Conference in Columbus, OH, 2023. I have also authored and illustrated two fantasy philosophy children’s books for Saphere’s P4C programme.
