A new chapter for pupils' literacy after £46k boost

PRIMARY pupils in Hull have been awarded a literacy boost by Bookmark Reading Charity, following a call-out to schools in the area.

Bookmark Reading Charity is investing £46,000 across 23 schools in Hull, with the city becoming the latest recipient of the charity’s Your Story Corner Programme. It offers schools in specific areas the opportunity to boost their whole-school reading culture and embed reading for pleasure into the lives of their pupils.

Each school is entitled to 200 new, high-quality books suitable for children aged four to ten; exclusive access for teachers to Reading for Pleasure training, CPD and further development opportunities; annual subscription to Bookmark Reading Charity’s termly children’s magazine, The Story Corner; and a host of other benefits. The initiative is designed to foster a love of reading that extends beyond the pages of the resources supplied.
