Story

I'm taking in the iconic Royal Parks Half Marathon this October 2023 to support children's reading with Bookmark! Children who don't read well by age 7 are six times more likely to drop out of school than their peers. 

Bookmark gives children the reading skills, confidence, and enjoyment they need for a fair chance in life through a holistic approach of 1-1 volunteer-led reading support, and essential books and resources to help children develop a love of reading. 

Here are a few ways you could help me make every mile count:

£5 - could gift a school a book for their library

£25 - could gift 50 children their very own Bookmark literacy magazine to support reading at home

£50 - could gift a collection of new and diverse books to a school to transform their library

£100 - could gift headsets to a school to enable 5 children to complete our online reading programme

£250 - could inspire a child's love of reading with a new Bookmark volunteer who is fully trained and vetted

Prior to lockdown, eight children in an average class in England would leave primary school unable to read well. Bookmark has an incredibly simple vision: we want every child to read. We give children the reading skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life.
