does anyone know!
As soon as we are born, these days were all encouraged to read, starting with devoted Mums and Dads reading stories to their new born, as toddlers bedtime stories are paramount - also visiting Granny and Granddads for sleepovers, sitting on sofa's or a big chair with siblings, maybe with Aunts and Uncles cosying up when they come and stay! Ah yes! it all sounds so glorious almost like a family friendly idyllic film - as kids we can sit back enjoy and relax whilst others play their part in supporting our future path in the education process...
until children get to the age of maybe 5, 6, or 7, (or even younger than 5 depending how eager to learn or be taught they are - as every child is different) then its down to hard slog, learning the ABC's, simple words, then spelling, punctuation, grammar etc, etc… we all need to read and write - our future depends on it - we can't just have imagination and creativity!!! that alone doesn't work.
I must confess, I never paid attention at school - and as for reading and writing well, that was never on my list of priorities…. but hey, way back then education seemed to be for the elite or for the privileged few; another advantage, being surrounded by books and taken to libraries is always a plus! I'm sure I didn't read until I was 10ish then limited in what was on offer - my spelling was horrendous and still is (thank god there's spell check on computers - this is a wonderful application and i'd be lost without it)
So here I am, years later published a Children's book with my son 'Author/Songwriter LEIGHROY MARSH' - it hasn't been all plain sailing and I do encounter some struggles but with the help of a good Collins English Dictionary and a mini Thesaurus anything is possible… not only have we published
'The Hairy Plug Monster' Link to website www.hairyplugmonster.com
we have in the pipeline rough drafts of more Stories and Tales - waiting to be published as audio books, paper back picture books, and as e-books for the coming year. So my friends i'm telling you to watch this space - you could be in for a surprise… the moral of this story is 'to encourage our future generation' when ever possible as they too could also be aspiring Authors… just like LEIGHROY MARSH he has inspired many children with his story times...
