Reading Champions

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

In 2009, Government figures once again showed that boys' performance was lower than girls in all literacy-related tasks and tests in England for all age groups. Boys read less than girls and their attitudes to reading are less positive than girls. The Reading Champions initiative was developed in response to the continuing national concern about boys' and men's underachievement. It was launched nationwide in May 2005. View more
