About your host, Heather Wright:

Meet Heather, the founder of Reading Rocks. Heather carefully selects each and every book that goes into our subscription boxes using her extensive experience in education and her knowledge of children’s literature.

Heather founded Reading Rocks in 2016 with a desire to bring together educators with a passion for reading for pleasure. The community began across social media and grew into amazing Saturday CPD events across England.

Heather taught in the primary sector for 15 years, with experience in leading subjects and as a senior leader. As a passionate and innovative teacher she inspired others with her enthusiasm and spark. A career highlight was leading her school in a ‘Year of Reading’, which won an Educate Award and was shortlisted for a TES Award.

Heather’s influence in the education world was recognised in 2018 when she was listed in the top ten influential educators by TES.

From 2020 to 2023 Heather founded and ran a specialist children’s bookshop called Stories by the Sea, in Cornwall. Here she shared the joy of reading with families and schools.
