Akshata and I are pleased to support a new @richmondproj partnership with @BookmarkCharity to get thousands of number-themed children’s books into primary schools across the country.

We kicked off with Reception and Year 1 pupils in Lewisham - and their reaction said it all.

📉 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! 👉 https://t.co/z5pSywukJQ

Reduce the #SummerSlide ☀️

Just 10 minutes a day keeps children sharp, confident and curious.

✅ Easy habit
✅ Builds skills and confidence
✅ Strengthens bonds

10 minutes is small but powerful. Make daily reading a habit that shapes brighter futures 📚

📚 Only 40% of parents say reading aloud to their children is “fun for me.”

Why it matters: reading builds skills, shapes attitudes and helps close learning gaps.

Let’s inspire more families to share stories together ➡️ What’s one book you love to read with your child?

[Bookmark Reading Charity @BookmarkCharity]

This summer, turn story time into magical moments that spark imagination, build confidence and help your little one shine when they head back to school.

Make every bedtime story an adventure! 📚🌙
