Akshata and I are pleased to support a new @richmondproj partnership with @BookmarkCharity to get thousands of number-themed children’s books into primary schools across the country.
We kicked off with Reception and Year 1 pupils in Lewisham - and their reaction said it all.

Growing up, @SanchezVegara - creator of Little People, BIG DREAMS - found her greatest friends in books. Now, her stories inspire millions of children to dream big.

📉 Children can lose up to 2 months of reading progress over summer - especially without access to books.
Just 10–15 minutes of reading a day can help keep them on track!
And it doesn’t have to be a book - try a comic, recipe or a fun quiz on Kahoot! 👉 create.kahoot.it/profiles/07…

📚 Only 40% of parents say reading aloud to their children is “fun for me.”
Why it matters: reading builds skills, shapes attitudes and helps close learning gaps.
Let’s inspire more families to share stories together ➡️ What’s one book you love to read with your child?
