A Reading Adventure
Interactive Storytime Sessions with Early Years classrooms
‘From the moment I contacted Kathy to arrange an Author visit for our Early Years classes, it was a very straight forward and relaxed process. She was very accommodating and flexible from the get-go. The children loved the interactive nature of Kathy’s well-planned readings and were mesmerised by her exciting and colourful stories. She had a fantastic, child friendly approach which the students responded really well to.
Thank you, Kathy, for being an integral part of our book week!‘

Getting Your Book ‘into the Wild’
Assemblies & Author Talks across Primary

Stories Are People
Bringing News Reporting to Primary School Classrooms
‘As a former successful journalist, Kathy shared her expertise in journalistic writing, which perfectly complemented our students' current learning on newspaper reports based on the characters from The Firework Maker’s Daughter.
Kathy then guided them in transforming their newspaper reports into live video news reports, helping them develop both their oracy and writing skills - all while deepening their understanding of a book they love. Thank you so much for your time, Kathy!
