Research shows that reading for just 10 minutes a day can have a massive impact on a child’s education, helping them to achieve good exam results and equip them with skills to thrive in the adult world.
To put the emphasis back on reading, Achievement for All, has developed a campaign called One Million Minutes, aimed at providing teachers and parents with a fun and engaging way to encourage primary school children to read.
The competition challenges primary schools to read for as many minutes as they can in just one week.
The class that manages to read for the most amount of minutes and top the leaderboard by the end of the week, wins the challenge and is presented with a prize of a brand new reading corner and books worth more than £1,000, courtesy of Peters Books & Furniture.
