nice to meet you.

Hi, I’m Kelly .

I am a believer in the value of the school/home partnership. As a qualified primary school teacher since 2010, you are in safe company with me as you journey through parenting a primary school aged kiddo. It is fair to say I’m a passionate educator with over a decade of formal Early Years classroom experience & a brain crammed full of knowledge & ideas.

There were times I felt parents needed so much more than I could give, unfortunately, the squeeze on well-meaning teachers means that in reality we can’t do it all. During those years, I wished there was an easily accessible resource to direct parents toward. So, during my Family Leave from the classroom, I was able to create Common Reader® to share my experience & knowledge base with other parents.

Common Reader® shares clever learning tools for parents to feel confident & capable supporting their kiddo’s 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.
