Discover the secret of getting your child eager to read, while improving literacy skills and advancing reading comprehension

Give your child a head start developing critical literacy skills that will have a profound and lasting impact on his or her success

• Do you worry about your child’s lack of interest in reading?
• Does your child have little or no interest in opening a book?
• Does your child lack confidence in his or her reading abilities?

Everyone wants their child to be a good reader. But what do you do when he or she struggles with early reading and comprehension, or has no interest in opening up a book? Maybe you've tried a whole list of proven effective reading strategies to help them – or activities to teach them to read – but still you aren't getting anywhere.

Many parents worry that if their child is struggling with reading, he or she will lose confidence and, as a result, will fall behind in other areas of schooling. There is often also the concern that he or she will encounter educational difficulties later on, having missed out on critical literacy development.

Children with reading or reading comprehension problems often feel stupid and inadequate, and lose self-confidence as a result. This in turn creates a vicious circle, and they can develop a complex about learning to read. Reading becomes a chore, and something they resist, as whenever they are made to read they are reminded of their limitations.

How can I get my child motivated to read?

Almost 40 percent of children have problems learning to read and struggle with reading comprehension. However, with early detection, help and encouragement this can be resolved. Many parents leave it too late though. It is vital that parents get involved in their child’s reading activities at an early age.

The older the child, the harder it will be to teach them to read. If children can't read well by the time they are 9 years old, it’s highly unlikely that they will ever catch up. And the effects of falling behind in literacy development and feeling like a failure can be devastating.

The difficulty is that as a parent, when you force your child to read, he or she is usually not 'open' to learning. A sense of frustration can creep in on both sides, as well as a deep feeling of helplessness on your part that you can't play a part in your child's education.

Reading with and to your child allows them to get to know the sound of words, and enables them to understand the relationship between words and pictures on the page.

Our solution provides the ideal medium for children to improve their basic reading and reading comprehension skills.

Teaching unmotivated and uninterested children to read is hard. It is so much easier to teach children to learn to read and improve their literacy in a play environment.

So what can you do to help improve your child’s literacy skills? Our solution provides a safe and fun environment for children to improve their basic reading and reading comprehension skills.

Why should you listen to us?

My name is Sam Brodie. I have always been passionate about literacy, and particularly about children's literacy development.

I’m all too aware of how vital it is to get kids to read from a young age, and I’ve always had an ambition to help develop critical literacy in the early years of childrens’ lives.

I recently completed a Sydney Writers’ Centre ‘Writing for Children’ course, which gave me a great focus on just how important it is to capture and hold a child’s attention and imagination with children’s storybooks. The course outlined techniques of narrative and story construction, to better help teach children to read and improve critical literacy.

I have always believed and my experience has taught me that the best way to learn is through a fun, interactive medium. Poor literacy is a real problem today, and that’s why we have created a solution that will get kids excited about reading. Our aim is to improve reading comprehension in primary/elementary school children.

The secret is to give them something that they want to read themselves.

The Storybook

Our solution is a unique, personalized and fully illustrated storybook that will excite your child's passion for reading. The story is personalized, so you can make your child the ‘hero’ character. This means he or she is more likely to be engaged by it, and so will be much more motivated to read it. This in turn helps promote self-awareness and boost your child's self-esteem. What’s more, it is proven to be much easier for children to learn and improve their command of literacy in a play environment.

The story presents simple spelling challenges, which enable your child to develop basic literacy and reading comprehension skills, and help nurture their enthusiasm for spelling.

Simply type in your child's name and create their appearance on this website, and these characteristics will be carried over into the story, which will be sent to you as a printed book.

The storybook is ideal for children between 4 and 8 years of age. It aims to improve elementary school reading comprehension, focusing particularly on reading improvement for first grade and second grade students. It can also be used as a reading aid for kindergarten children, and can also help in increasing a child’s attention span.

Joint storybook reading with a parent or teacher creates interaction that promotes language and literacy development, and our storybook is designed so that it can be read to a very young child by a parent or teacher.

How will the book help my child?

• The story is personalized and customized so children will engage with and learn from a story that is about them. Being the hero of the story will boost a child’s self-esteem, as well as engendering a greater sense of ownership, as they are the main character. The experience is more real for your child, so learning is made easier

• The storybook is perfect for reading together with your child. It is great for young children as it is one of the first books that can be read to them by their parents, and they will respond favourably because they know the characters.

• As it is sent as a book rather than a download, it will become a ‘souvenir’ of your child’s formative years. Children prefer to have something tangible that they can read with an adult, rather than just an on-screen download. In this way you can play a part in your child’s education in a fun way. Also, books are an important way for you to spend time with your child

• The story features your child’s friends, which helps your child to bond and make new friendships with peers

• As it is personal, your book is an ideal and special gift for your child. The giver will be remembered as they can leave a message on the website which will be printed in the inside cover of the book (e.g. ‘Love from Aunty Maud’) 

• Your personalized storybook is educational and fun, so your child will want to read, and will beg you to read it with them. It will also potentially give your child a head start over their peers at primary school

• The book presents simple spelling challenges - your child can learn and improve basic literacy and reading comprehension, and grow their enthusiasm for spelling. What’s more, learning won’t seem like a chore, as your child is having fun

• You can order the book online, which saves time as you don't have to print off and fill in long forms by hand. It is also more secure and convenient than paying over phone by credit card or sending
  off a cheque, and you aren't limited by store opening hours - you can order 24/7

• The storybook's illustrations are of the highest quality, created by our award-winning Illustrator

Our storybook also helps you address the key factors that are well known to help motivate children to read.
