nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Kelly Chislett.

I am a true believer in the value of the school/home partnership. As a qualified primary school teacher since 2010, my passion lies in Early Years education & all things learning. With over a decade of formal experience & a brain crammed full of knowledge, ideas & questions - you will be in safe company with me as you journey through parenting a primary school-aged kiddo.

I created Common Reader® because there were so many times I felt the assistance I was giving to parents was inadequate or insufficient due to time restraints. I care deeply about helping & have a huge experience & knowledge base. Unfortunately, the lack of extra time adds pressure to teachers who are trying their best. I wished I had a tool like Common Reader® to direct parents toward as a reliable & achievable service.

Common Reader® shares clever learning tools for parents to feel confident & capable supporting their kiddos early reading journey. I’m glad you found me!

reading is a gift.

Home Reading can be a joy & a priceless experience for your kiddo.

All you need are some clever tips & they’ll be set for life.
