For Teachers

Dust was a CBCA Notable Book for Older Readers in 2010.  Click here for Teachers’ notes, available now from the Random House Australia website.

The teachers notes were written by Judith Ridge, a leading advocate of children’s and young adult literature. She is a Churchill Fellow, has an MA in children’s literature, and has written teachers’ notes for books by Melina Marchetta, MT Anderson and Morris Gleitzman.

Henry Hoey Hobson has his own truly awesome Teachers Notes. Click here for a Teacher Support Kit for Henry Hoey Hobson.  It includes a comprehensive chapter summary and a large selection of ready-to-use classroom activities.

HHH’s notes come courtesy of Jean Yates, a former teacher, Director of the Somerset Celebration of Literature Writers Festival, and judge in the YA section of the 2010 Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards.

If you want to meet the face behind the words of either book, I am available for school visits and author talks and love sharing my passion for writing and reading with all ages. For bookings please contact Helen Bain at Speakers Ink or email helen@speakers-ink.com.au
