Judith attributes Dr Seuss’ fantastical tales about faraway places to her love of writing children’s books. She is an award-winning author, education consultant and playwright. After teaching phonics and phonemic awareness to children in Europe, the Middle East, India and China, Judith saw a growing need to support literacy in schools. Her desire to lend a ‘helping hand’ to those involved in the art of teaching basic reading skills resulted in a series of wonderfully written and illustrated, Australian phoneme-themed stories which include, ‘The OO in Uluru,’ ‘The EE in the Deep, Blue Sea’ and ‘The O in the Snow.’ Apart from developing reading skills, the books foster imagination, language and sound-spelling recognition.
Judith’s books support the teaching and learning in language arts, balanced literacy, phonemic awareness, phonics, indigenous studies, science, geography and across the primary school curriculum. When she is not writing children’s stories and plays, she is usually found somewhere exploring the great outdoors.
