A big thank you to @clairelinney.bsky.social for visiting another 2 partner schools & helping develop a love of reading. Wonderful to hear her inspiration behind becoming a writer and learn more about Black history. We loved hearing the children's ideas for their own time travelling adventures

Our volunteers have supported 201 children in Years 1-3 with their reading. One says: “I think it's v important that L2L2R isn't just about learning to read, but about learning to love to read. I enjoy the time I spend with children I read with and enjoy celebrating the progress that they've made.”
