Children and Young People's Reading in 2024

At One Education, we believe reading is the cornerstone of education and a key to unlocking a child’s full potential. It should be accessible to every child, regardless of background, neurodiversity, EAL status, or other vulnerabilities. Reading goes beyond academic necessity – it sparks magic, awe, and wonder, opening doors to infinite possibilities and lifelong learning.
