Tomorrow is World Book Day!
Reading for pleasure is apparently the single biggest indicator of a child's future success, more than family circumstances, parents' educational background, or income.
I started my children's interest in books by reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes to them. We still love that book to this day - and my kids are now 27 and 32!
To help encourage a love of reading, primary schools across Tamworth and the villages will be sent vouchers so kids can get a book FOR FREE from a list of 12 great books, ranging from "Elmer and the patchwork story" to "Loki - Tales of a bad god".
If your child has received a voucher, I hope it leads to a lifelong love of reading!
