Reading City
 |
Our vision is to make Sheffield into a Reading City
- for more Dads to read to their Lads
- for every school in the city to nominate a reading champion
- for all primary schools to sign up to the Sheffield Accredited School Award and commit to its 10 action points that include ensuring that every class will be read to for 10 minutes a day
- for more adults to take up the Six Book Challenge 2008 that includes Quick Reads specially written for new adult readers
- for more parents and carers to join Bookstart a free gifting service that provides books and support materials
- Bookstart Book Crawl where in the summer families with babies and toddlers can join in at their local libraries
- for businesses and companies to encourage book crossings in their places of work
- for people, from every walk of life, to offer to be reading volunteers supporting the learning of reading by others
- for there to be poems in doctor's waiting rooms, for reading to be a way of reducing stress and promoting relaxation
- for reading to be fun
