Read On Nottingham
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.
