Full of magic and wonder, adventure and danger, friendship and family, her latest series, The Wizards of Once, is the perfect series to get children excited about reading. These comprehensive resources are an excellent way to get children to engage with the text in a fun and educational way.
Cressida has a passion for developing the creative intelligence of children and she believes that reading allows the reader to grow three superpowers:
• Creativity
• Empathy
• Intelligence
She explains that the magic of books is partly about the words, but also, importantly, what happens in the reader’s imagination.
These resources created by Reading Rocks aim to focus on those three superpowers and to explore and enjoy the reader’s own imagination.
