Welcome
Welcome To Stories My Nana Tells
Dear Parents and Grandparents
My name is Lesley Dewar and I’ve recently retired from a very successful career in sales, real estate and financial services spanning over 40 years. I am an Australian grandmother, an avid surfer of the net, a published writer and as the author of Stories My Nana Tells, I am constantly travelling, browsing, researching and uncovering the unusual.
Stories My Nana Tells is a new family membership site that delivers proven, quality stories every two weeks, to engage children in a journey of discovery, fast learning and exploring new things.
Bungy Jump – Queenstown NZ
Bungy jumping in New Zealand; Helicopter flights across icy mountains and rocky deserts; White water rafting in Bali and Swimming with dolphins in Hawaii – Travel, health, family, pets and quirky ideas make Stories My Nana Tells very engaging for the whole family. As a Nana, I write on a wide range of topics including haiku, travel, gardening, history, science, the internet and beyond. I write my stories as both entertainment and education for children.
Do You Want Your Child To Love To Read?
Stories My Nana Tells does just that! The stories are around 2500 words, thoroughly researched and finished off with 12 to 20 questions to encourage young readers to interact with the story. We have wonderful photographs and illustrations to make them even more interesting – and we guarantee they will spark the curiosity of your children and grandchildren in nature, the environment and the world around them.
The photographs are carefully chosen to enhance the story and add to its appeal. Where a reliable source can be found, we also include direct links to other information on the internet.
