Talking Reading is an entertaining and fascinating series of radio programs hosted by broadcaster and author Tony Wilson, educator/librarian Paula Kelly and author/illustrator Sally Rippin.

Over four programs, this series takes you on a literacy journey from birth to young adulthood. You'll hear how children become literate and the ways in which we can inspire children of any age to reach their reading potential. Along the way, you'll also meet some of Australia's leading children's authors and illustrators.

Talking Reading is available as four distinct programs, reflecting the age categories: 0-4 years, 5-8, 9-13 and young adult readers.

Feel free to share the series via social networks, download or stream each episode or individual conversations. You can also embed Talking Reading conversations on your own website.

The series is brought to you in the National Year of Reading by the State Library of Victoria and Triple R FM.
