National Literacy Trust

Organised as part of the Young Readers Programme, the National Literacy Trust has designed events to inspire children under the age of 11 to read in their spare time, and to see reading as a fun and creative activity. This program stems from a study that showed that reading outside of the classroom instigates higher reading levels within the classroom.

Over recent months, pupils from local schools have taken part in literary-focused events at Glasgow Fort in which students learned how to choose books they might enjoy and were encouraged to select three books that they could take home for free.

Inspiring a love of reading is just a start – we hope our young visitors keep up the good work at home and in the classroom!
