Writer Mick Elliott On How To Get Kids Interested In Reading

Learning to read is a tough gig that many parents have probably forgotten. But not Mick Elliott. A former Nickelodeon producer, current ambassador for Australian Reading Hour and author of Squidge Dibley Destroys the School, Mick knows better than most about how to get inside a child's imagination.
