International Read To Me Day:

International Read to Me Day - March 19th

"It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a child to inspire a village"

— Emma Mactaggart, The Child Writes Fund

International Read to Me Day aims to:

* Change the dynamic and empower children to ask for more support, not just from their birth family but also from their community. Marking a day when kids can ask to be read to is a key part of this strategy.

* Promote, encourage and inspire reading activities within communities.

* Showcase organisations who are passionate about improving the literacy standards of the children around them.

* Address the disparity between resources and where they are distributed, by supporting a book drive and sending the collected books to locations around the world to those who are looking for books!

* Support the invaluable work of all organisations trying to positively increase the literacy rates of children in their countries.

What an amazing day to support and foster our children's love of reading. Watch the video below for inspiration:
