Bookmark Reading Charity

Each year, eight children in an average class will leave primary school unable to read well.  These children will often struggle in school, and beyond.

The Bookmark app matches schools with fully safeguarded, vetted and trained reading volunteers.  During each programme, a volunteer has one-to-one reading sessions, twice a week for six weeks, with a child who needs extra help with their reading.  Sessions take place in school and are delivered online through our secure, interactive platform.

Bookmark now provide School Packages, offering more resources and support to schools. Their Rocket Packs gifted an astonishing 5386 brand new books to Bookmark's partner schools. These are termly gifts for schools, with books curated by authors and experts such as Mark Bradley and Dean Boddington!

A school partnership with Bookmark costs just £1 per reading session. To submit an application, click here now or watch this Introduction Video.
