"We've had such good feedback about your visit to the school. The children have been talking about you and many year sixes have continued on their writing tasks voluntarily- in their lunch hour!!!! The children were really given a boost - their interest in the art of writing, being economical with words and ultimately grabbing the reader, as well the pure pleasure of reading AND being read to, has increased ten-fold. Thank you - your visit was everything we hoped for and needed during our Book Week!" Natasha Jones, Literacy Co-ordinator, Churchdown Village Junior School, Glos. |
| “A very inspiring, amusing, creative and motivating time. The children were inspired to think of themselves as authors.” Ruth Henson, Teacher, Willington School, Wimbledon |
| “Schools will benefit greatly from John’s visit! The pupils from Reception right through to Year 6 showed that a visit from this author can do wonders to the children’s desire to read.” Jackie Oakley, Literacy & KS1 Phase Co-ordinator, West Ham Church School, East London |
