Like a silly billy, it’s occurred to me that I haven’t said, or linked to via a post, articles I’ve been writing for Essential Kids. I’ve been enjoying my time over there – it’s a lot of fund writing about subjects I’m into like technology and games and reading.

Here they are:

5 new apps for primary school kids

Best apps based on board games

7 ways to get your life organised

6 apps to make travelling with kids easier

If I’m allowed to have a favourite, it’s probably my most recent one. I’ve extracted the first paragraph below

6 ways to encourage reluctant readers

On the back of my wardrobe door is a red gingham drawstring bag. Underneath a pair of crudely cross-stitched bells on the front is my name. I completed this library bag when I was in Year Four at school – the same grade my eldest, my daughter, is in now. I was already a voracious reader at that age, unafraid to tackle difficult texts. I’ve kept the bag as a kind of symbol to denote the significance and utter gratitude I have about my love of books.

If you have any tips or a story related to any of the above, do let me know. I’d love to hear it.

(p.s Thank you to everyone who contacted me about my last post. I am doing better, truly x)
