📉 Children can lose up to 2 months of reading progress over summer - especially without access to books. Just 10–15 minutes of reading a day can help keep them on track! And it doesn’t have to be a book - try a comic, recipe or a fun quiz on Kahoot! 👉 create.kahoot.it/profiles/07…

Whenever I talk to kids in schools, their eyes light up the moment I say the word "manga". When they understand that reading manga actually COUNTS as reading – reading is suddenly seen as something cool! Here's few I've been recommended by kids (and enjoyed myself!) #literacy

The number of children reading for pleasure is in decline. How do we fix it? Best-selling author Katherine Rundell has an idea. Listen to Radical with @AmolRajan on @BBCSounds
