To add to the range of challenges, Key Stage assessments test

comprehension and A Levels often include English Literature.

As a globally-published author of fiction and literacy materials for

children and teens I'm sometimes asked to give private lessons.

Key Stage 1

Youngsters like being taught by an author and often respond creatively! My picture book *Fisherman Fred is the sort of thing that gets young children reading - and drawing and writing! After much experiment, Fred has found the best words for his sign - a lesson in careful use of language!

Key Stage 2

To keep pupils inspired though the junior years, there's my gruesome novella The Gibleteers, which I've often read as guest author in schools.

I've also read it in quite a number of private homes in Sheringham, Cromer, Norwich and Broadland. However, most of my pupils come to my home near North Walsham, where I welcome all ages and stages for personal help with literature and literacy.

Here's part of The Gibleteeers' cover design.

Key Stages 3 and 4

I've also produced a range of lively materials for older pupils, much of it (as the picture shows) with boy appeal.

Boys and girls alike enjoy my oral and activity-based approach, tailored to their individual needs. This is true when I'm coaching high-flyers and also when I'm helping youngsters who've dropped behind. Remedial work really can put youngsters back on course!
