On Wednesday 15th November, Jenny Cater from the reading charity Bookmark will speak about how they are helping primary school children develop reading skills and the confidence they need for a fair chance in life.

About Bookmark:

One in four children leave primary school unable to read well. These children often struggle in school, and beyond.   

Reading isn’t just about books. It’s about reading a road sign, a safety manual, a birthday card. It’s understanding a job application and the prescription that could help save your life. When
a child can navigate words, they can navigate the world.

That’s why we’re helping children develop the reading skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life, through our volunteer-led programme.

We request all Zoom attendees to switch on their cameras.

For those attending the meeting in-person, you can purchase your tickets by 6:30 pm on Wednesday 15th November. We will confirm everybody's food choice at the venue and order before the meeting starts.
