Sharing Stories Resource Pack

Resource created by Campaign for Learning

Reading for pleasure was found to be the most important indicator of the future success of a child (OECD, 2002). It has a four times greater impact on academic success than one parent having a degree (Centre for Longitudinal Studies 2013). In fact, no matter where a child lives, their family background, or socio-economic status, reading for pleasure opens doors intellectually. It impacts positively on education, aspiration, opportunity, and quality of life.

Story time can make a difference to both the children and adults you work with, no matter your setting. This pack contains some of Campaign for Learning’s favourite ways to role model reading together with fun, engaging and replicable story times for families.

This pack includes resources, tips and ideas to help you to:

• choose the perfect book
• plan a fun and engaging activity
• inspire families to read together at home.
