Young Readers Programme
The Young Readers Programme (formerly Reading is Fundamental, UK) is the national programme that the National Literacy Trust uses to motivate disadvantaged children and young people to read for pleasure.
Training opportunities for Young Readers Programme partners
We’re pleased to be able to offer our partners some extra training at our “Developing lifelong readers and learners” conference this March. The conference will provide practical approaches to teaching reading across the whole school in the context of the new curriculum. There will also be a speaker from the Young Readers Programme team demonstrating practical tips and activities to support reading for pleasure. There are a limited number of subsidised places available so please email youngreaders@literacytrust.org.uk as soon as possible for more information. Read more about the conference here.
About this project
The programme helps children and young people to acquire the skills they need to develop as a reader, from knowing how to choose a book that engages them, to where they can find books once the project is over.
