Join our Story Starter Programme
Welcome families! Help your children spark a love of reading through stories, games and family reading support.
Get Your Children Reading-Ready
Many children start school with limited access to books and reading experiences at home. The Story Starter Programme provides families with the resources and support they need to develop children’s language, confidence and enjoyment of reading from the very start.
Families can receive free specially curated packs for children aged 4 – 5 that include brand new books, storytelling activities, stationery and family reading resources to help children at the start of their educational journey.
What’s included:
Our packs include resources for children of preschool age and their families that closely link to children’s experience in their first year of school:
- High-quality books and a special edition of The Story Corner magazine
- Storytelling activities, finger puppets and creative learning tools
- Family reading support

We have made stories together with the story builder game cards. Sofia enjoyed speaking with the puppets. What a lovely starter programme package, we are thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you.

My child already had a keen interest in reading and book, and the story pack has just added to it.
