You may remember a recent post about a three-day workshop offered at Bournemouth University. Attendance enabled me to create a digital story about my reading journey. It was a fun experience where I learnt a great deal about editing audio and video. To read more about the workshop, click here. The end product, a two-minute digital story titled Journey is now available. Although there are plenty of things I would like to change if I got to work on this digital story again, you can have a look at the story by clicking here.
I enjoyed your reading journey, Gail, though surprised it took you so many years to get immersed in books. I was exactly like your sister!
I put it down to intermittent hearing loss as a child – if you can’t hear the sounds then teaching by phonics never works. As a child reading always seemed too much like hard work. Although I could decode a text, it took years to learn how to read for pleasure. Thankfully it is possible to make up for lost time!
