Generation Alpha children (born between 2010 and 2030) are the first to have a screen culture since birth. They have been born into a world of technology that improves and grows at breakneck speed, surrounded by screens and enamoured by them from a young age.

How can we keep a balance between skills needed to read and write (which are such hard work for so many children), and screens that hold games, stories, and a plethora of activities to constantly distract them?

Louise Park, teacher, children’s author and leading educational consultant approaches this question among many others in this, straight forward, step by step guide to helping children with the skills they need to become happy, proficient, confident readers.

Jam packed with facts, helpful hints, quotes, reading activities and advice, this guide is easy to read, understand and put into action. I’ve even taken things from it for my 2020 children’s bookclub activities.
