ABOUT

In the early years of schooling most Australian schools provide take-home reader books where parents (or grandparents or caregivers) take an active role in improving reading literacy and fluency. Unfortunately, the nightly ritual of sitting with your child while they churn through an uninteresting, irrelevant and uninspiring home reader is often a burden for both the child and parent.

Early home reader books are typically disconnected to student interests and disconnected with their school studies. This often leaves parents feeling ill-equipped to assist with developing appropriate reading skills within specific contexts – especially science-based contexts.

The Suzie the Scientist series addresses these issues by empowering parents with the knowledge and skills to assist their child in this, the most important facet of their education – learning to read.
