Student Study Stage

This stage of your Reading Journey may well be the most demanding. You’re being prescribed literature to read, both in fiction and non-fiction form for all your subjects. Fiction (or non-fiction) reading for pure entertainment may not be easy at this time. Stick with it! You don’t have to like everything you read. You do need to be able to compare and evaluate your reading of literature texts. Here’s where I can help.

See below for a few extracts from some examples of my presentations, revision sessions, resources. There are more available so head to explore more here.

Feel you may need further guidance and assistance in navigating your this stage of your Reading Journey? Consider Mentorship , which is a form of tutoring but with a lighter approach, or Membership to my growing Readership Community.

Remember, once you get through your Student Study assessments, your skills with books and reading will keep you moving along your Reading Journey towards success (in your career, social networks, wellbeing, mental health and relationships). Books document it all so don’t give me ‘I’ll never read a book again in my life after this.’ ***!

Let me guide you towards personalised reading lists and plans and steer you towards a sustained enjoyable Reading Life ahead.
