It was fantastic to be part of the Summer Reading Challenge’s 25th anniversary celebrations in Westminster this afternoon.
The benefits of reading at a young age are extensive and growing and are highlighted in particular in areas such as mental wellbeing, confidence and creativity.
These tools should be accessible to all children, no matter their background, and so I was pleased to learn that the Summer Reading Challenge has created over 15 million children’s reading journeys.
This is a milestone the Summer Reading Challenge team should be proud of and a remarkable achievement in reading.
