Thanks for the question, Sandra.
As a child I loved reading. I would read all the time: in the car, at night when I should have been asleep, even walking to and from school. I still love reading, and find pleasure and solace inside the pages of a good book. I've also always enjoyed writing.
Because of this, my love of words and language is ingrained, as would any skill practised. One example would be a sports star practising skills and drills in preparation for a big game.
I see many kids get to high school, and I know the difference between those familiar with reading and those who aren't. Those who read are much better academically, and much more confident at reading large chunks of texts in class and at home. They are also more skilled at writing because of their familiarity with words and the structure of language.
When students reach high school, if they haven't had success with reading and writing, they've had at least six years of what they deem as failure, and this dejection is hard to break. They lack confidence in their abilities, and their results suffer. They also struggle to learn new, bigger words because they seem daunting. It also affects maths, where word problems are a big component, which many people don't realise.
Scaffolding and support provides a step up, but it does not do as much as early literacy and word familiarity. Usually the result of low literacy is work avoidance. Sometimes, they may succeed with a pass, but need to work especially hard to thrive with their subjects.
I commend anyone who passionately promotes and support literacy education from an early age, and thought your book was a great tool for teaching reading and literacy.
