We provide 1:1 reading support & resources to children across England who need us.

Story

At Bright Network, we're passionate about supporting the next generation with the tools they need to succeed. That's why we've partnered with Bookmark this Careers & Wellbeing Week...

A child who reads 1-2 times a week will hear 58,908 more words by the time they're five years old than a child who doesn't read. That's why we're taking part in Walk for Words - a national initiative to support children's literacy by raising money for Bookmark whilst prioritising your physical wellbeing!

Everyone taking part will be walking 58,908 steps across the week.

Fancy getting involved? Walk for Words with us and donate to help every child learn how to read!

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.
