Bookmark Reading Charity

Change a child’s story

Each year, one in four children leave primary school unable to read well, and disadvantaged children are disproportionately affected. Struggling to read can contribute to poor educational attainment, lower literacy in adulthood and has even been linked to a lower life expectancy.

Bookmark exist to change children’s life stories through the joy of reading. We partner with schools to develop whole school reading cultures and to provide one-to-one reading support.

We want to get children excited about reading. We do this by delivering high quality books and other reading resources, from non-fiction to graphic novels, directly to schools.

For the children who need us, we’re changing their story.
