It is common for unschooled, or Self Directed Learners, to learn to read anywhere between the age of 3 - 16 years old. How can you be sure that your child will learn to read and that unschooling reading works? This webinar will draw attention to the things that children do that are developing the skills and building the foundations that they need for them to learn to read.  This will be done through using real life examples and stories from the unschooling community of real children who have learnt to read in their own time and in their own way.  This webinar is FREE for LPL Monthly Members along with a back catalogue of Unschooling Webinars, 2 live webinars a month, and discounts on coaching and mentoring services. Sign up for just £20 per month. Yes! I want to join the LPL Monthly Membership

She is looking for novels that demand to be talked about and shared, whatever their genre, and that she is still thinking about days after finishing.  She is on the hunt for a high-concept thriller which is character and plot driven, but also has a discussable issue at its heart i.e Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey and Girl A by Abigail Dean. She love thrillers where the location is as integral to the plot as the crime i.e The Dry by Jane Harper and The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse, and would love a good locked-room thriller but is only looking for fresh and unique ideas in this area.  She is also on the hunt for a glorious book club love story that is doing something a bit different and special i.e Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid or Liane Moriarty! Or smart, contemporary, observant romcoms with a very strong emphasis on diverse / own voices.  Finally, she would love a historical that vividly brings that period to life as well as having a stunning plot i.e, The Familiars by Stacey Halls and The Doll Factory by Elizabeth MacNeal.
