Clock up the miles this Easter, and into the Summer term, in Schoolreaders Race for Reading and help more children leave primary school able to read well.

The 80-day virtual Around the World challenge runs until June 19th 2022. Set your distance, go it alone or with friends, family, your sports’ club or book group, and commit to walk, run, cycle, swim or even walk a dog to help cover the distance around the world – 25,000 miles, following in the footsteps of legendary fictional explorer Phileas Fogg!

Every step taken and every pound raised will help national literacy charity, Schoolreaders recruit more volunteers to provide crucial weekly classroom reading support to primary school children nationwide, targeting those with the greatest need.

1 in 4 children (200,000 pupils) leave primary school each year unable to read to the required standard1 which can have life-long consequences. Literacy opens doors, helps learning and brings new opportunities. 

It’s free to register so sign up and take your steps to help improve children’s reading today at www.raceforreading.org.

Race for Reading is sponsored by two fantastic companies with links to the educational world, Kindred and Maths Circle Ltd; creators of Times Table Rock Stars and NumBots
