“It was such a thrilling and interesting talk that continued long into the afternoon for the children. It's even made some of our teachers reflect on their best practice to support the children with their writing.” Georgia Blinston-Jones, Whitstable and Seasalter C of E Primary

Lucy is now available for INSET / CPD on building a Reading for Pleasure culture in schools. Please contact ellie@speakingofbooks.co.uk for more details.
