Wandsville

Fiona Holmes / YouTube

FIONA HOLMES IS an award winning author of the Wonderland literacy programme which is the market leading educational literacy programme in Ireland.  At the heart of the programme is Wandsville, a magical land, bursting with adventure, in which the stories from the books are set. The modern, edgy characters endear themselves to today’s discerning children, fostering an excitement and motivation to read.

Fiona is now using these characters to develop an educational animation series.  This series will help parents to support their child in an imaginative and engaging way to master the skills that help them to read, while also developing their comprehension and vocabulary skills.
