Sue Carolane has over 35 years of experience as a speech pathologist in education – pre-school, primary and secondary. Troubled by the increasing number of children struggling with learning to read, write and spell, she has combined her professional expertise with her lifestyle, using photographs of her alpacas to create an accurate and appealing book to address an area which is holding back many children as they learn to read - recognising a written letter and associating the sound it makes. Many alphabet books contain errors (eg. /c/ is for “cheetah”). This one does not.
