Let's
make 2017 a happier one for more children by helping them
to read with confidence
Happy New Year to you all! There's a lot to look forward to
in 2017! It's Reading Matters' 20th birthday
this year and we want to help more young people than ever to read
well and reach their potential. We've got some great ideas in this
bulletin of how you can get involved and help us to achieve this
goal.
Our
20th birthday offer; a present for you!
To mark our birthday year, we'd like to make you a special, partly
funded offer, on all Reading Leaders courses which
are booked to take place during this Spring term. This brilliant
offer will help you get the New Year off to a great start in your
school!
We will train 15 older pupils to be Reading Leaders who will then
be able to provide effective reading support to younger pupils,
boosting their skills, confidence and self esteem. In addition, we
will provide your school with two free delegate places, worth £100
each, for our conference looking at 'Closing the Literacy Gap' on
29/6/17. The conference takes place at Bradford City Football
Stadium with an inspiring line up of speakers, workshops and
exhibitors including education consultant Matt Bromley, author Andy Seed and Director of
Grimm and Co, Deborah Bullivant.
Our latest impact report shows an
average reading age increase of 13 months after just 10 hours of
support from a Reading Leader and schools often report much
more. Reading Leaders aged 14 or over in secondary
education gain a Level 2 accreditation in Supporting Reading
Skills, which will really enhance their UCAS form or CV. The costs
of the accreditation are already included in the course price.
READING LEADERS SECONDARY
15
places on a Reading Leader course, plus one for a member of staff
and 2 free conference places - £995.00 (worth £1475!)
READING
LEADERS PRIMARY
15
places on a Reading Leader course, plus one for a member of
staff and 2 free conference places - £595.00 (worth £950!)
Please note: All courses must be booked and delivered before
31.3.17 and training dates are subject to availability. So don't
delay, contact us now and
experience the impact of Reading Leaders in your
school!
Join in
the 20th anniversary celebrations at our Charity Ball
On the 11th of March we are holding a '20th Anniversary' Charity Ball
at The Midland Hotel in Bradford,
to celebrate our work over the last two decades and the thousands
of young people we have been able to help. We really hope that you
will be able to join us for this special event where we will also
raise money to sustain our essential work in the future.
Tickets for the evening cost £40 each and tables can be booked for
groups of 8-12 people. The evening will start at 6.30pm with a
drinks reception, followed by a three course meal and then a DJ
with dancing. There will also be an envelope draw and silent
and live auctions in aid of Reading Matters.
The Midland Hotel are offering guests a special overnight rate of
£55 for a single or double room, including breakfast. Please book
directly with the The Midland Hotel on 01274 735735 quoting
'REA110317'.
Please come in your ‘Glad Rags’! It's your choice whether to come
in evening dress, black tie or whatever makes you feel happy!
If you are able to offer any sponsorship or prizes to support our
fundraising please contact us at info@readingmatters.org.uk or

We look forward to seeing you there!
Happy Reading!
