Proud to share our hard work on closing the reading disadvantage gap for our students. Reading is vital for their future success, happiness and ability to fully access and interact with the wider world around them. tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

Absolutely agree. Reading together builds collective background knowledge, sparks conversation, debate and builds fluency. New knowledge sticks better when it's delivered through meaningful shared moments 🫶🏼. Put simply: reading with your child is as close to magic as it gets 🌟

Reading to kids doesn't just benefit them. It's good for parents too. Evidence: Reading regularly to children improves parenting skills, reduces stress, and builds lasting bonds. In a distracted world, sitting together with a book is a rare occasion for undivided attention.
