Rotherham
In Rotherham, the National Literacy Trust have joined forces with local council and library services to encourage children to read for pleasure.
By promoting a love of reading, we are helping the children of Rotherham to improve their literacy levels and achieve their full potentials in school and beyond.
Reading for enjoyment can be transformational for children’s academic outcomes, as well as supporting their social and emotional wellbeing.
When can you get involved?
Starting in September 2024, we will deliver an array of fun, exciting and educational projects across the town to inspire children to develop an interest in books and stories.
We will work in collaboration with community groups, schools, families and local organisations across Rotherham to ensure that we get to the very heart of the town's literacy needs.
