Read Manchester

Read Manchester was delighted to be part of Bee in the City – a spectacular art event which saw hundreds of giant bee sculptures on the streets of Manchester this summer.

As part of Read Manchester, the ‘Bee a Reader’ initiative used the buzz of the bee sculptures to encourage the whole city to spend 10 minutes reading or sharing stories every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the the Bee a Reader challenge and creative writing competition. Winners will be announced soon!

Reading and talking to your child every day prepares them to learn and succeed when they start school. Sharing a story with your child for just 10 minutes a day is enough to make a difference.
