£15 pays for a child's reading support for a whole year. Make a donation, your support would be much appreciated! Did you know that 1 in 4 children left primary school in 2018 unable to read to the expected standard and that 1 in 7 adults lacks basic reading skills? One reason why many children are falling behind with their reading is that they lack opportunities to read one-to-one with an adult. Schoolreaders helps to address this by recruiting volunteers to listen to children read in local primary schools. The scheme has proved so successful that our volunteers are supporting nearly 9,000 children every week across the country. Thank you for your support!
