For those of you who don't know, Steve Pinker is my hero! I first contacted him in 2000, after reading 'The Language Instinct', and we corresponded by email for years after that. He encouraged me while I developed my reading scheme, 'Sounds of Reading'.
Speaking of which, proud Philip came downstairs earlier this morning with a video of Hugo reading a Dr Seuss book. Fluent, expressive reading! Diagnosed with autism three years ago, Hugo has been two years behind academically, but is catching up fast! Both Philip and I have been taking him through my reading scheme and he is now on the final book. Wonderful!
Steve is the best writer I know. I love reading whatever he writes, even though it can be a challenge. I need to ask Google Home what almost every second word means. (That's a lot quicker than typing words into Google.) What an intellect this man has.

Thanks, Diane - it looks interesting, and the Amazon reviews are good.
I’ve put it in my “basket”, and I’m keeping an eye on the price. 👍
