Take on 40 miles this May to change children's life stories. The Race for Reading challenges you to move 40 miles or more over the month of May to help improve children’s literacy. Each mile you complete is a chance to raise sponsorship and every £40 you raise will fund a full year of one-to-one reading support for a child. You can complete your 40 miles in any way that suits you. Whether you walk, run, swim or cycle, every mile takes us closer to ensuring more children get the reading support they need. Why Race for Reading? One in four children leave primary school unable to read to the expected standard. This means that these children may struggle to access their secondary education, which will have a life-long impact on their future opportunities. Schoolreaders is helping to change this, by providing high quality reading volunteers to primary schools to listen to children read one-to-one.
