The National Literacy Trust’s Young Readers’ Programme funded by Barcapel Trust was introduced to pupils today.

The aim of the project is to  encourage reading for pleasure through the gifting of books. In addition to the pupils receiving books, there is a gift of 50 books to the school library of each of the 3 schools involved. You can see from the photo how happy this news has made the lovely mum who runs Rowantree’s library!

The first book distributions will be taking place next week and we will be posting pics; comments; and hopefully, some writing & art work over the length of the project which runs between now and the October break.

So in time honoured tradition, watch this space……
