I found a wonderful shop (new to me) today.

Ulysses Rare Books in Dublin was full of treasures, but naturally I headed straight for the children’s section and it was magical.

Do you have any old children’s books in your house?
You could be siting on a fortune. One of the books I picked up was €250!

Go check your shelves…. And happy reading!

Is it "cheating" to read aloud to a reluctant reader? 🤫

Many parents feel guilty when they end up reading to a child who is struggling to read on their own. But think of it this way: when a child is learning to swim, you support their tummy in the water.

It’s not cheating—it’s vital support. It's a gentle means to an end.

Reading aloud removes the performance fear, keeps the story magical, and builds the vocabulary blocks they need to take the baton themselves when they are ready.

Meet your child exactly where they are.
