The Next Generation
Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world.
We know children love to be read to, and we also know how hard it can be to find the time.
So we've pulled together an amazing community of readers who would love to read to your children too! Through the magic of the internet, we would love to connect you and your children with one of our special team of readers who will read to your children - virtually!
Want to know more? Get in touch with us and we’ll let you know how you can be part of our wonderful reading community!
