We believe in the huge benefits of reading
“In 2024, the percentage of children and young people who told us they enjoyed reading was its lowest since we started asking about this in 2005” Reading For Pleasure Research | National Literacy Trust
“Just over 2 in 5 (41.5%) children and young people aged 8 to 18 in Scotland said that they enjoyed reading in their free time in 2023. This means that nearly 3 in 5 (58.5%) did not enjoy reading. ” Children and young people’s reading and writing in Scotland in 2023 | National Literacy Trust
Book Ownership is Key for Improving Reading Levels
Every S1 student placed their order for a free book to take home and keep during September. They received their books when they came back after the October break!
We want to make a difference and provide students with the opportunity to read for pleasure and improve their reading levels.
