Reading Champions

Reading Champions is a unique way for both primary and secondary schools to get more of their boys enjoying reading.

Government figures have consistently shown that boys' performance is lower than girls in literacy-related tasks and tests. Boys read less than girls and their attitudes to reading are less positive than girls. The Reading Champions initative was developed in response to the continuing national concern about boys' and men's underachievement.
