Hello everyone!

I know it has been a long time since I was on The Cloud and my visits, I should say, have been very 'infrequent', but . . . it has all been for a very good reason.

I have been planning and creating a children's reading and writing scheme and my website is now up and running! If you would like to take a look the website address is www.kidsreadwritereview.co.uk

I also have a Facebook page and the more people I can get to 'Like' the page the happier the publishers are and I can get more free books for the kids!

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kidsreadwritereview/180984638630447

Sorry that this is a shameful plug but I would greatly appreciate any support. Also, if any of you have children aged between 9-12 they may be interested in joining the scheme.

Thanks to all and I'll be back real soon - promise :o)

    Very impressed with your new website and the idea - fantastic! Anything to encourage kids to read great books. Will you using any of the good old childrens books - E Nesbit - The Psammead series or The Narnia Stories, The Secret Garden? They were all favourites from my childhood and i don't think they've lost any of their appeal but I guess kids today want something different! Anyway, great idea, good luck. karenx

    Hi Karen,

    Thanks very much. I am trying!

    I am in the process of adding a 'Good Old Fashioned Read' page with exactly that Karen! I absolutely love all the old books, but they need no help to get children to read them. They've stood the test of time and quite rightly so.

    The authors and publishers have been amazing and the support and generosity of some people has really brought a tear to my eye.

    It starts in September and I can't wait. I'm more excited than the kids!

    Please do pass on the details to anyone you feel may be interested.

    Thanks xx

    Bren - that would be lovely if they would like to take part. I'm about to start sending packs off so just let me know via the website (info@kidsreadwritereview.co.uk). It would be great to have them on board!

    SecretSpi - I'm well and truly chuffed :o) The publishers have been excellent, as have the authors, and it makes such a difference to have support behind you xx
