The Magic of Reading

Welcome to our Magic of reading page.  As you know we held a very exciting week in July to share all the wonderful resources and strategies  that are available locally and nationally to promote the benefits of reading to professionals, parents, families and communities.  Don't worry if you weren't able to come along because you can catch up on all the content here.    

Throughout the week, we explored all the benefits of reading at all ages and stages, from bonding with babies to developing strong reading for pleasure practices in schools and in families.  We hope that you'll be inspired by the great practice in Norfolk and that the sessions  strengthen your understanding of the power of reading to nurture relationships, build empathy and improve happiness and wellbeing.   

This week is the start of long-term initiative to help professionals and parents navigate the wonderful sources of support that are available both locally and nationally to help develop a love for reading and reading habits and enable all of our children and young people to flourish and shine.
