It was a great course – fun and motivating J Wasn’t expecting a certificate! Really enjoyed every minute of it – I was a bit apprehensive about 4 hr zoom sessions but they flew by so fast – and your delivery was awesome.

Thank you for organising this lovely Reading meeting. Thank you all of you, all the support and beautiful ideas. All the ideas gave me different perspectives to see the world. I love the atmosphere, very encouraging and supportive.

Just want to say thank you so much for an amazing intro to the Reading Revolution! A great concept, and great training. Can’t wait to get on board.

I have to say I loved this training! Thank you =)

Indeed it has been a brief but intense journey that I have very much enjoyed. I have so appreciated meeting you all and hearing your wisdom and Kate your facilitation has been such a gift to bring us together and delve into the depths of both wonderful literature and also this very special way of connecting people.Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.

You were the happy fairy to our group, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I can’t wait to start using the skills gained out in the community.

The course was so rewarding and cannot wait to begin my Reader Leader journey. Thanks Kate.

Inspirational and thoroughly engaging course.

Kate Middleton is a very good trainer. She knows her stuff very well and is experienced in training and leading a group.

Kate is wonderful and so helpful - cannot recommend this course and programme enough! 🙂

Kate is an amazing trainer. Her passion for the reading revolution is clear and her energy levels are infectious. The course was well structured and well paced. I can't wait to get going.

Thanks so much, Kate and The Reading Revolution! 💙 I am beyond grateful for this heartwarming learning, reading, and leading. 🥰

An excellent course! Highly recommended!!

Great course, I really enjoyed it. Thank you Kate 🙂

Thank you so much for your guidance and for sharing your experience, Kate! We are very excited about starting our own shared reading groups, and will surely be in touch again 🙂

Fantastic training and support from Kate!

Kate was always enthusiastic and fun, as well as being a knowledgeable and experienced reader leader presenter. Thank you Kate.

Kate was an inspirational tutor and her passion is contagious.

Kudos to Kate for being an amazing trainer. Her passion and caring nature shines through in the sessions. She was well prepared and foster an inclusive environment. The training was well executed and paced. I enjoyed the training and feel inspired to begin to lead shared reading groups. I'm excited and can't wait to see the impact that shared reading have on others and myself.

Kate was a fantastic teacher and led the group so well. She was warm and inviting and kept learning fun 🙂

Amazing training!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the training and have gained confidence to deliver these programmes to our groups in 2025. Thank you very much Kate - you are an amazing tutor, who gave clear instructions and made the training fun. Your knowledge and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated.

Feeling confident and excited to lead shared reading within my community, thank you!

Kate lead my group so well. It was very informative and a lot of fun as well. I certainly feel I have the knowledge and confidence to make a start and develop a reading group.

Kate is a fantastic facilitator. So warm and encouraging. The whole group came together in a supportive way. I appreciated the resources and valuable feedback - what a gem!

Our facilitator, Kate Middleton, was really energetic and well organised. Her love and passion for the program showed in her interactions with us and the learning material.

It is an excellently planned and delivered course. I felt privileged to be part of it. Thank you so very much.

I loved the training, it was very informative and inspiring. Loved your energy!

The course has given me the confidence to begin running a group within my local community. It was also a huge boost for my own well-being. Thanks so much Kate.

I found the training more demanding that I had anticipated but in a good way. Kate is an excellent trainer, enthusiastic, encouraging and empowering. The opportunities to actually practice being a reader leader during the training felt daunting but very worthwhile. I am looking forward to actually organizing a group now but it is great to know that Kate is available to talk to as I go through this process. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the training.

Thanks for the great presentations. I learnt so much from the literature and the input of other participants. I now feel more focused on what is required.

This was a wonderfully interactive, comprehensive course that has left me feeling not only excited to be a reader leader but confident that I can run a fun, valuable program for the people in our local community. A huge 'Thank you' to Kate for encouraging a supportive and inclusive group of people together who not only influenced the way I will run my group but has me excited for the other groups that are happening around Aotearoa, New Zealand. This is a program I will be encouraging to other libraries around the country to become involved with. Now bring on the laughter, learning, connections and chocolate biscuits.
