Bringing Literacy to life.
'...the stories and medieval anecdotes had the boys, in particular, enthralled. It was fantastic to see so many boys reluctant to leave the library at the end of the session when it's usually such a battle to get them there in the first place.' Argoed High School, Flintshire
'I liked the arrows and the story with all the different voices. It was cool.' Mathew, Argoed High School.
'I thought he was amazing.' Pippa, Argoed High School.
Encourage children (in particular boys) to read with a medieval story reading session. This is followed by
a fascinating demonstration of medieval life and a discussion about the the role of literature in shaping our knowledge of the past. Various favourite books are introduced with diverse subject matters along with original examples of my work as an illustrator.
Pupils can benefit from presentations which comply
with National Curriculum requirements. Different learning styles are
addressed, with over 15 years of historical experience,
I am extremely flexible and able to adjust my presentation according to your focus.
