Hello and thanks for finding your way here! I'm Clare Harris, English language teacher and author of books for 'new arrival' learners in Australia (and elsewhere).

I publish as The Book Next Door and you can find me at thebooknextdoor.com or clareharris.com.

I'm a New Zealander who grew up in the UK, then moved to Australia, but my own 'struggling to learn' experience was during a wonderful three years spent working in Thailand...where I found learning to read and write in Thai was just beyond me!

It inspired me to create reading and puzzle books for beginner learners who may not be familiar with our script. These were originally hard copy only, for sale in Australia and New Zealand, but on request, they're now available as downloads.

Please take a look at the samples (will soon be here as previews, but currently on my site), and try them out with your learners!
