This month, BookTrust is reaching over 700,000 reception aged children with a fantastic book and fun activities to enjoy and share at home as part of the ‘Time to Read’ campaign. We all recognise the importance of reading for a young person’s development and mental wellbeing. I care deeply about the complex mental health challenges faced by some young people in Corby & East Northamptonshire and this project is one way to help promote good mental health among our young people. The ‘Time to Read’ campaign encourages families to use books to explore these issues and start conversations. You can support this great campaign by sharing a picture of yourself between the 16th and 22nd September, reading the ‘Time to Read’ book with some young people in your life. You can share this using the hashtag #TimeToRead and tag the UK’s largest children’s reading charity @BookTrust. You can learn more, here: www.booktrust.org.uk
