Bookmark Reading Charity has a very simple vision: we want every child to read.
Currently, more than 1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to read well. This disproportionately impacts children from disadvantaged backgrounds, who leave primary school on average a year behind their peers.
Through delivery of one-to-one reading programmes, Bookmark aims to meet the needs of children who face the greatest barriers and for whom the benefits of reading can be most transformative.
You can help ignite the joy of reading and change a child’s story.

Our Opportunities
Volunteers have 30-minute one-to-one reading sessions on 2 days per week. This is across 6 weeks with a child aged between 5 and 11 years old. You’ll see your reader progress. You'll select sessions on days and times that work with your commitments.
