We were delighted to host the #ReadingRights summit with @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social today. It was a pleasure to have such expert, passionate voices in the room and we're excited to take these conversations forward with the publication of our Reading Rights report in the spring.

"The message from children is clear: they want more access to books, more encouragement, and more time to read." We're feeling so inspired listening to the #ReadingRights summit keynote speech from @childrenscomm.bsky.social Dame Rachel De Souza, who shares how important reading is to children.

On the train very excited to be heading to the Book Trust #ReadingRights event tomorrow! As an obsessive reader myself I want to do everything I can to support all children to love books. It’s never too early to start. You can even read to your bump!

Best line from this is @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social's about how cheap reading aloud to children is! There is TONNES of good scientific evidence for beneficial effects of reading to children - if you want a reference list DM me www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Just had a Christmas treat as @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social was editing Today @ Radio 4 and it was all about children reading for pleasure (and health and wellbeing). Then even better the fab Alice Wiseman came on to explain why it is so important. @adphuk.bsky.social

I talked about the importance of movement building, networking and convening and quoted the brilliant Paula Leonard asking 'what are the feet on which this work will land.'
