Lacking vital language skills at a young age will hold a child back at every stage of their life.
Read On Nottingham works with families and young children to improve their life chances by giving them the early literacy skills they need.
As well as focusing on the early years, we also target another crucial stage of a child’s development – their move from primary to secondary school. Keeping a love of reading going as children get older has huge benefits for their education.
Read on Nottingham is a city-wide initiative supported by Nottingham City Council and Small Steps Big Changes, and is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
This November, our Literacy Champions Dee and Mehnaz will be helping Nottingham families learn all about phonics.
Phonics is the way your children learn to read and write for the first time - watch their videos to learn them together at home!
Our new initiative with an exciting calendar of events, funded by Arts Council England to inspire children to tell their stories.
