Sharing a book with your child for 10 minutes a day, an hour a week is our aim for The Reading Hour on the 25 August 2012.
We know it's not always possible for parents to share a book at bedtime with their children, but if you can manage 10 minutes most nights, your child will have the best chance of becoming a good reader, with all the social and educational benefits that brings.
Up to 90% of a child's brain development occurs in the first 5 years, so it's not enough to assume that your children will learn to read when they get to school. Parents need to share stories and rhymes right from day one - and a good way of finding out more is to join storytimes, rhymetimes, baby bounce and toddler sessions at your local library.
