About Us
Overall boys do less well in Reading and Writing than girls in the National SATs tests at ages 7 and 11 years.
You can help by encouraging boys to like books from an early age. Callum (right) loves books already. (Bear loves them too!)
Find books that boys would like.
Ensure they have a good role model - does dad; uncle; older brother read as well?
Make books part of the daily routine.
Join the library.
That early knowledge of Nursery Rhymes is strongly related to the development of reading abilities.
Did you know?
That a child's knowledge of letter sounds/names is a good predictor of beginning reading achievement.
