Books

Vocabulary Ninja has not one, but a series of hugely successful educational books on vocabulary, reading and writing for not only teachers but parents and pupils too. It has been a privilege to be given the opportunity to write in partnership with such a renowned publishers as Bloomsbury.

It has been inspiring to know that the books continue to support schools, teachers and pupils from around the world, and it is that which drives me to continue to research and write publications that work for teachers.
