Esther is a Year 6 teacher at a large Junior school in Northamptonshire. She is the English Subject Leader and as such is always trying to find or create innovative ways to encourage reluctant readers. Esther enjoys introducing children to new and exciting authors. She also has a passion for children’s literature, especially visual texts and has studied for an MA in Children’s Literature at the University of Roehampton.

As a primary school teacher, Esther knows how important it is to be able to recommend books and authors to young people.

Why did you get involved in Oxford BookMatch? It has enabled me to share my interest and knowledge with others in a wonderfully creative way. I think it is perfect for busy teachers who need ideas and recommendations at their fingertips.
