Get Islington Reading
Get Islington Reading is a three-year borough-wide campaign that includes a fully funded programme for Key Stages 2 and 3 in 16 local schools to embed reading for enjoyment in school communities and support transition from primary to secondary education. The programme will review current provision, facilitate participation in a wide range of reading activities, provide new books for school libraries, and connect schools and public libraries to build a strong community of readers in Islington.
The project is delivered by the National Literacy Trust and The Reading Agency, working with local partners Islington Council Library Service, Islington Education Library Service and Islington School Improvement Service.
Each school’s involvement in the project will look different depending on needs, priorities and provisions already in place.
