Outwood Family Supports Children's Book Week
This week marks Children鈥檚 Book Week, a week aimed at encouraging children to read.
The initiative was started in the US in 1919 and has grown into an international phenomenon with children getting involved with, and developing a love for books and for reading.
The slogan for 2021 is Reading is a Superpower.
鈥淭he Outwood Family is delighted to be supporting Children鈥檚 Book Week across our schools.
鈥淩eading and discussing texts with children brings a wide range of benefits and enjoyment for both the adult and child.
鈥淚t expands children's understanding of the world, broadens their vocabulary and develops their fluency and expression. Reading enjoyment has been reported as more important for children鈥檚 educational success than their family鈥檚 socio-economic status.鈥�
