Book Trust

BookTrust is the UK's largest children's reading charity with a history that stretches back over 100 years. Their focus is on helping children in the key developmental years from birth to the first years of primary school. They do this because of the strong evidence base which shows that reading with children from the earliest age and establishing a regular reading habit impacts on a wide range of outcomes both in the short term and later in life.
