Special Pictures to Talk About: Limited Edition Mini-Book

Cecelia grew up in the Barossa Valley, an area of South Australia predominantly settled by German immigrants. Cecelia was teased at school and yet, loved school and learning. She clearly remembers the struggle to learn to read and painfully stringing three letter words together, until one day it became easier. Cecelia tutors and tries to create that "aha" moment when reading becomes pleasure instead of pain for children struggling to read and write. During her work in Kindergartens and pre-schools, Cecelia became interested in speech development as the forerunner of literacy.
