Poor Literacy. End of Story
Children who can’t read well miss out on so much.
Being unable to read well at primary school, doesn’t just hold a child back in the classroom or at college. It can influence everything from their job prospects and personal development, to their mental health and wellbeing.
“Poor Literacy. End of Story.” highlights the lifelong impact low childhood literacy can have, and the difference one hour of volunteering can make to a child’s story.
