In addition to designing books and such, Judith also has side projects on the go. The most recent and exciting project is an early reading program for kids.
It’s called you can read.
After becoming a reading tutor and years of research into the Science of Reading, I have integrated all my knowledge and interests into writing, illustrating and designing a box set of 46 decodable stories for early readers!
Head to the website for more information, or relax here with some of the videos I made that teach sound spellings (phoneme-grapheme correspondences) by reinforcing keywords in live-action vignettes.
Learning sound spellings makes learning to read easier for ALL kids, but essential for kids with learning differences.
Another exciting project is Windy & friends. Together with Robin Mitchell Cranfield, we have written & illustrated 4 children's picture books and created 10 apps (stop-motion interactive stories) as part of the Windy & friends series: windyandfriends.com
“Three cheers for artfully designed, smartly constructed storybook apps for kids that inspire kids to play, learn, and simply have fun.”

“Windy is playfully ingenious … lending the action intimacy, drama and a magical sense of verité.”
Publisher’s Weekly on Windy & Friends
Here's a sample of a child "reading" and playing with one of the apps.
Here's an old promotional video - made before we launched the apps! A trip down memory lane ...
