I love reading. I read ALL the time as a little girl, always walking around the house with my head in a book, not looking where I was going. I would love to instil the same passion for reading in my own children and I regularly sit with my older daughter as she learns to become a reading pro.
Sometimes learning to read with Sophie can be hard. She gets upset if stuck on a word or if she can’t remember one of her phonics sounds. At one point she told me she doesn’t like reading which broke my heart. Since then I have been working extra hard to get her back on track and have been sourcing books that I know she will love. I am very fortunate as I work in a school with a wonderful library and, as an infant teacher, have a good knowledge of what constitutes a ‘quality book’. I also see how young children react to stories I read at school and can then bring them home for my own children to enjoy. However, I am well aware that not everyone is in this position and so anything that can help parents expose their children to the best books out there is a win in my eyes.
It was with great pleasure, therefore, when husband & wife duo Hannah (a secondary/SEND English teacher) & James got in touch about their new business, Readingmate.
