100 Million Minutes reading challenge

We are very excited to announce that we have signed up for the

100 Million Minutes Reading Challenge 2018 – a national reading

initiative from education charity Achievement for All.

Together with schools, early years settings and community groups up

and down the country, children and young people will try to read for a

collective 100 million minutes.

Why? Up to two in five children in disadvantaged communities across

the UK have difficulties with literacy. We know that introducing all

children to the habit of reading in everyday life can

improve communication skills and brighten future prospects.

The challenge will kick off on World Book Day (Thursday 1st March

2018) and run until Thursday 29th March. Each week we'll be

adding our reading minutes to our overall score, and doing our best to

come out on top.
