Welcome to Devon Gets Reading! Part of the National Year of Reading initiative

2008 is an exciting opportunity to celebrate reading across the whole of Devon involving the very youngest right through to the oldest members of the community.

Why read? Because good readers have

• higher self-esteem and confidence
• improved communication skills
• better qualifications
• enhanced career opportunities earning more money
• wider experiences
• more lively imaginations
• more fun!

What is Devon doing?

• getting more people to borrow paper and talking books from our terrific and FREE libraries!
• encouraging parents and carers to read to and enthuse their children about reading
• motivating children and young people to read regularly
• asking volunteers to help with reading support in schools
• supporting adults who want help with their reading

And much more!
