Hi, I'm Wendy, the founder of Reading Journey boxes.
Reading can unlock a child's imagination and provide them with a wealth of knowledge, vocabulary and experiences unlike anything else.
I am a proud mother of 4 amazing children, each with their own unique view on life.
Originally from the UK, I travelled the world living and working in 6 different countries before making this beautiful country, Australia, my home.
Over the 25 years of working with children as a teacher, tutor and mentor, my experience has given me an invaluable insight into the importance of education. I believe every child can flourish when given the opportunity and the right tools for their toolbox.
I also saw that reading alone wasn't enough. Something was missing. Children were reading but not really comprehending or appreciating what they had read.
So, I began to ask myself what could happen if great books were combined with fun and interesting activities, guiding children into the key skills of reading comprehension and writing.
Reading Journey Boxes was born.

Your children will fall in love with her quirky character and enjoy sending her letters.
