READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on childrenβs life chances. So whatever else you do, please never stop helping kids find books to read & love. Never stop sharing books, talking about books, celebrating books & reading. It will change their lives! #literacy

            Children need access to high-quality reading material in schools: books, magazines, comics, etc. So many schools have been unable to buy anything this year due to the ongoing budget crisis. And last year. And the year before. Something has to change because our pupils deserve better.
