We improve children's lives by providing volunteers to give one-to-one reading practice to children in primary schools. We want to give every child the chance to learn to read well, and reach their full potential. Help us reach more children by getting involved, donating or volunteering.

Story

1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to read well which has life-long consequences. COVID-19 has made this even worse, particularly for disadvantaged children.

Schoolreaders places volunteers in a local school for free, providing one-to-one weekly reading support, so every child has the chance to catch up on vital reading skills.

We are asking you to run, walk, cycle or even hop to help give children a brighter future!

Join in, and together we will race around the globe and make a world of difference to childrens literacy and life-chances.
