The Magic of Reading

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

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

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