“The support to the school the difference made to children’s reading has been amazing. ABC Book Club supported us in our Book Week celebrations and gave each child two books to take home. The smile on the children’s faces was fantastic to see and many of them started reading their books straight away. The storyteller provided to us by ABC Book Club was so good. The children were really immersed in the stories and loved joining in with them. Thank you so much for helping us to develop a love of reading and stories by the children.”
