UK campaign launched for the right to read

BookTrust and the Waterstones Children’s Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce have launched Reading Rights: Books Build a Brighter Future. 

The report calls for national provision so that every child has access to books and reading from their earliest years. 

It calls on national and local leaders in early years, health, education and culture to come together to make reading a part of daily life for every child in the first seven years of life.
