Adult Literacy ~ 2013

Adult Literacy  ~  2013

Comments by Len Morgan

   I had an idea to create a series of stories that could be read by both an adult and a young person.  These stories are all set in earlier times so that the adult could relate his/her experiences of that period and explain things that no longer exist - such as phone cards, film camera's, I Love Lucy, and Jodrell Bank Observatory etc.   The adult gets valuable reading experience, and interaction through various activities, whilst the young person gets a lesson in recent history, (within living memory) and a valuable opportunity to share in new activities with a parent or grandparent.

 The stories I've written so far are:

The Waxwell Rd Mob, Charlie’s Boys, Hikkaba, Spark'l, and Magic Granddad. 

The 1st part of Magic Granddad follows below.

Note:

I failed to sell the idea as a viable money-spinner.   But, if anybody would like to try the experience for themselves, feel free...
