Encouraging reading with Bookabees – review and giveaway

7th June 20176th June 2017 Over 40 and a Mum to OneBook Reviews

You all know how passionate I am about books and the journey I’ve been on with my 7 year old son as he’s learned to read.  It’s not been an easy journey and even now, my son is very much happier when he’s being read to, rather than having to put the effort in himself.…Continue reading Encouraging reading with Bookabees – review and giveaway

As you all know Monkey is a rather reluctant writer.  He gets easily frustrated and struggles with it all.  The situation probably isn’t helped by his letter formation, when he writes, he starts most letters in the wrong place, so he’s always covering more distance on a page than he needs to.  Getting him to write…Continue reading Pass the Word

You may recall that Monkey had his first taste of audio books last year and The Worst Witch was an instant hit.  I’m keen for him to read a balanced selection of books, with female lead characters as will as male. We are thrilled to be asked to get involved with the Bella Broomstick Book…Continue reading Bella Broomstick
