Product Information

As an association, we embrace a breadth of theoretical perspectives of literacy and promote broad and balanced approaches to early literacy education. From birth, young children are immersed in the diverse range of communicative practices of their homes and communities, often including those that are print based and digital.

Having emptied our post box and sent off heaps of cards, pictures, letters and questions to Sophy, we were THRILLED to receive her response in the form of a Q and A session! There was much excitement in the hall as the children listened to Sophy who shared so many fabulous tips with the children. As well as all that, Sophy also shared some TOP SECRET news about her brand new chapter book which she is in the process of writing, including sharing with us some of the early sketches she had done of the key characters. It was such a privilege to see these ideas. As children enter education settings, Early Years teachers and practitioners support young children’s journeys into literacy by building on what they bring to their early education experiences and what they already know and can do.Everything Sophy does is related to helping encourage and develop a reading for pleasure culture at our school.

Then we battled across London on the tube to arrive in London Victoria for our train home. What an adventure, what a wonderful set of memories the children will have to share with their families and friends for many years to come!At the end of the awards, Sophy made sure the children met the shortlisted authors and the children had lots of their books signed!
