I am an Educational Psychologist in Private Practice, specialising in work with children who have reading and learning difficulties. I also develop educational programmes, which are being used by therapists and teachers as well as in schools both in my country and internationally.
I have a number of educational degrees and diplomas, a Masters in Psycholinguistics and a Doctorate in Curriculum Development and Special Education.
I previously taught in both mainstream and special schools and then at university in education, applied linguistics and psychology, teaching courses in research, assessment and evaluation. I also have interests in neuropsychology and neurolinguistics. I have a number of publications in these areas, and a number of publications in areas relating to programme evaluation (refer entry on programme evaluation in Wikipedia)
I live in the Johannesburg Area, South Africa, and provide service to parents and children with learning difficulties. I also develop assessment tools and procedures for doing this type of work. For more information use the following links:

The stories are based on fables and folk tales which have themes which are universal. Each story is presented in a format in which it can be set in either large or small print, and read using partnered paired reading methods to develop increased fluency in reading. Understanding of the content of the story can then be tested by answering a number of comprehension questions in writing.
Both the stories and the questions in the book are graded in terms of difficulty, and are designed to be used side by side with both the other reading fluency books in the programme, as well as with additional materials designed to develop the child's language, phonic skills and sequential working memory. Accompanying manuals are available which outline effective methods in each of these areas.
The materials and methods used in the programme have been successful with a large number of children of different ages and different cultural backgrounds, and are most effective where they are used in combination. Results on the programme have been published internationally, and links to these publications are made available free online on my website.
If you make contact with me by email, I can provide you with an illustrated manual to enable effective use of this book in conjunction with other materials for developing reading fluency and reading comprehension, as well as with additional materials to support your child's reading, writing, spelling and learning needs.
I look forward to hearing from you.
