My Latest Feature for Tutorista Magazine

When Tutorista Magazine invited me to write an article entitled "Raising Confident Readers & Bold Thinkers," I surprised even myself by quite how much I had to say! So, settle down with a cuppa and enjoy a deeper dive into one of the topics I am most passionate about.

Written for both parents and educators, the article is packed with practical, easy-to-implement ideas that help children move beyond simply answering comprehension questions. My aim is to show how strong reading skills can become the foundation for richer thinking, greater curiosity, and the confidence to question, connect and communicate ideas.

If you've ever felt that a child can read the words on the page but isn't quite getting to the heart of the text—or struggles to express what they understand in writing—I hope you'll find plenty of inspiration here.
​
Above all, it's an invitation to think differently about comprehension: not as an end goal, but as the starting point for raising confident readers and bold thinkers. I hope it sparks a few ideas you can try at home or in the classroom.
