Testimonials
Hear about the impact you could make
-
These sessions have been, in many cases, the seed that was needed, to plant that love of reading. One child in particular was completely transformed by her Bookmark sessions and after being given the opportunity to sit with an adult one-to-one and look at stories in a low-risk environment, her world widened and she is now a prolific, independent reader and her parents have now re-engaged in reading with her at home.

I would say this is the BEST reading programme we have ever participated in. It allows the valuable one-to-one time to read, which staff in schools struggle to find in school. The volunteers are amazing, and the children truly love their sessions.

I like reading with my volunteer because they can help me have a try and I can get smarter.
