The National Literacy Trust is challenging schools and communities across Birmingham to read aloud with their group five times or more before the end of July 2024.

Shared reading is a great way to build a love of books, bring people together and to support mental health.

To help you to get involved, we are offering free CPD in how to read aloud. This will include:

  • A session about confidence, intonation and world-building from actor Ibraheem Toure.
  • Guidance on leading engaging book talk from the National Literacy Trust’s Kyle Turakhia

Every participant will also receive a free book of their choice to read to their group and a chance to win prizes each week.

Who can come along?

This CPD is for anyone who works with a group of young people or adults. This could include:

  • School or adult teachers
  • Community workers
  • Youth workers
  • Sports coaches
  • Faith group organisers

It is also open to our Literacy Champion volunteers.

Tickets are free but booking is essential.
