How to NOT mess up online

Navigating the online world with children is not easy (and sometimes quite scary!).

On International Literacy Day, we’re talking to The Digital Law Company’s Emma Sadleir and Rorke Wilson about online safety.

Our very own top children’s book authors, Louis Pretorius, Bianca Flanders, Fanie Viljoen, and Ros Toerien, also share how literacy is developing in the digital age and how it influences their work.
