Read North East focuses on encouraging parents to chat, play and read to their babies and young children – whenever and wherever they are.
We work with organisations and businesses across the North East, joining forces to strengthen the culture of reading across the region.
Since 2017 when we launched Read North East, we have given away more than 8,700 books to children who, according to our research, may not have any books of their own at home.
As part of our work in the North East, we also run the Redcar Early Years Partnership, which combines Read North East activity with our flagship early years programme, Early Words Together.
Did you know that following a recipe and making a yummy snack together can help to improve your child's literacy skills?
We've teamed up with Greggs Foundation to offer families across the region the chance to win a £20 Greggs voucher when stores reopen. All you have to do is have a go at recreating Greggs’ famous Jammy Heart Biscuit at home.
