Check out these fantastic reading rulers what Keren from Money Go Round has shared!
Such a great way to help those students who have trouble tracking/reading 😊.
A pack of the rulers comes in a variety of colours too 👍🏼!

After reading Levi's story from "Barefoot Kids', to my class, they thought it would be worthwhile buying some of his reading rulers to try them out. And they did not disappoint.

Not only are they great for dyslexia students but also for any student who may have eye tracking issues. I have in the past made similar tools to help students but nothing like the quality of these ones!

Your story, Levi. was truly inspirational to my class and even inspired some of them to start their own mini business. Thanks Levi and keep up the great work!😀

If you want to check out Levi's reading rulers see the website address below.

Woohoo Callan!! Thank you! What an amazing price! Get in quick before this special price ends on Friday! 😊🙌🏼

A wee note from Callan Goodall, who was one of our amazing authors at the NZLA Literacy Conference ‘Author’s Evening’ event 😊 (see his conference flier below).

Hi Everyone,

I really enjoyed the opportunity to share at the Author's Evening at the NZLA Conference and thank everyone for the positive feedback.

As a promotion for my latest book 'Pockets of Gold', the ebook/Kindle version will be available for FREE from Wed 18 October till Friday 20 October.
Would be really grateful if you could share this as widely as possible.

On Wednesday it would be awesome if you could please download, and then read and review in your own time. It is reviews that help to get books noticed online.

Thanks in advance,
Callan
