Our Reading Revolution aims to put reading at the heart of life, and, sentence by sentence, line by line, to build shared meanings between people.

Into Reading delivers weekly informal reading sessions to the public:
from those who wouldn’t normally pick up a book to keen readers. It
might be a poem or a short story, a novel or a play or a work of
non-fiction; it might be a children’s book, or a new work, or a long
established classic. Whatever it is, it will have been specially chosen
to suit the group. Uniquely, texts are read aloud by one of our trained
project workers, with members joining in as much or as little as they
wish. Engagement is immediate – and enriched by the spontaneous sharing
of life stories and experiences as confidence builds over time. Read more.
We have developed Read To Lead training to enable people across the country to deliver Get Into Reading in their area.
