I’m delighted to share that my book, Academic by Design, is now available to download – completely free, and readable on any device. Academic by Design is a comprehensive, research‑based guide to children’s learning (350 pages across 25 chapters). Designed for parents who want to nurture their child’s academic growth and build strong learning skills.
Inside, you’ll find strategies to support:
• early brain development
• fluid and crystallised intelligence
• attention and interests
• working memory and long-term memory
• emotional regulation
• social and academic language
• bilingualism
• early reading skills

Some books make a difference; I hope this one does for you.
