The National Literacy Trust is challenging schools and communities across Birmingham to read aloud with their group five times or more before the end of July 2024.
Shared reading is a great way to build a love of books, bring people together and to support mental health.
To help you to get involved, we are offering free CPD in how to read aloud. This will include:
- A session about confidence, intonation and world-building from actor Ibraheem Toure.
- Guidance on leading engaging book talk from the National Literacy Trust’s Kyle Turakhia
Every participant will also receive a free book of their choice to read to their group and a chance to win prizes each week.
Who can come along?
This CPD is for anyone who works with a group of young people or adults. This could include:
- School or adult teachers
- Community workers
- Youth workers
- Sports coaches
- Faith group organisers
It is also open to our Literacy Champion volunteers.
Tickets are free but booking is essential.
