For most of us our love of books and reading began in childhood. I found learning to read very confusing and upsetting. I ran home crying when the other children could and I couldn't. In the end my dad taught me. So I can really sympathise with those children who are finding learning to read a hard struggle and those parents who are trying to hunt down books to help their children.
Often the books we learn to read with become lifelong favourites and that is why I list reading books from across the generations.
