What are your earliest recollections of reading as a child? Here are some of mine.

The photos I have of me as a kid

Hello everyone, hope you are well,

I bumped into this video on one of my You Tube Explorations. Think I must have been about 5 or 6 when I saw this. Its a kinda easter european fairy tale called, The Singing Ringing Tree. I was on BBC kiddies TV. I still remember the story. Stories like this captured my dyslexic imagingation and got me reading.

Here is a link to a podcast that shows the show:

The Singing Ringing Tree

Tell me about your earliest recollection of reading you have as a kid?

When I was about 2 or 3 I could read Noddy books word for word. I would use my finger to trace nd read out the sentences. Not sure if i was actually reading the book or had memorise the story

As a kid I loved stories like this.

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and books from the rest of series.

Thomas the Tank engine books

I went from fantasy kiddies stories to Sci Fi authours like HG Wells and John Whydham. Even then I knew I was missing lines or losing my place on the page, but I thought that was the same for everyone.

I was lucky that one of my aunts relations. Not totally sure it may have been her dad ran a newpaper shop and he was always giving us comics like the Beano and more adult sci fi comics like Astounding Tales.

Did you read stories and books as a child?

Do you remember what they were?

What kiddies TV programs did you enjoy?
