As teachers we are continually searching for great books to use in our teaching with students, to support them in their reading and writing:

• We need help in finding books to use as Mentor texts, to help explicitly model how others write
• We want to engage different age groups in the sheer love of reading, whilst also connecting to the curriculum

Distinguished author Mike Dumbleton to discuss:

• His latest books
• Where did ideas come from? What was the need?
• What are some ways they can support writers in our classrooms?
• How can they be used in classrooms, how have they supported teaching & students?
• What are some good connecting tools and resources to use?
• And much more

Mike Dumbleton is a writer and Literacy Consultant. He has worked in South Australian High Schools, New York City schools and as a Literacy Curriculum Officer for the South Australian Education Department. In addition to children's books, he has written a range of educational texts.Version 2Part of his interest in writing stems from the fact that his grandfather was a local poet in an Oxfordshire village in England, who regularly recited his poems to the family, with or without requests!Mike came to Australia with his wife Linda in 1972. He was always interested in writing but a young family and many sporting activities kept him fully occupied until he decided he wasn't getting any better at basketball and his three children were old enough to allow him some uninterrupted time. He then began writing picture books at the same time as devising educational texts for teachers.
