About the Lovemybooks team
At lovemybooks we have many years’ experience both nationally and internationally in developing a love of books and reading with children, parents, teachers and student teachers.

We have extensive experience of working with publishers, authors and illustrators, TV, and agencies such as the British Council and Department for Education.

The three of us have developed and led highly successful national reading projects and are authors of published books on children’s reading and literacy.

As well as being teachers and mums ourselves, we were formerly the senior education team at the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), and are now university educators and independent consultants.

Our work has a proven track record in both reading research and practice.
