About

Hi I'm Libby Baker.

I'm a Primary School teacher and nerd in Canberra.

I facilitate literacy training and work as a literacy consultant around the country.
I'm a qualified teacher librarian and have a masters of education. I'm currently completing a research masters focusing on functional grammar, mulitimodal texts and critical literacy.

Inbetween all of this I like asking questions on this blog.

I love talking literacy to educators and students.
If you would like me to visit or present at your school please get in touch.
