Reading for Life

2008's National Year of Reading is over, but its organisers believe that its work to improve the reading opportunities and outcomes of people in most need should continue. They have therefore set out a statement announcing a new venture, Reading for Life. Its three target groups are:

• pre-school children
• those in their first few years of secondary school, especially boys, black and minority ethnic children, Eastern European children, Pakistani and Bangladeshi children, white working class boys
• C2DE families, especially young fathers, disabled children, print-impaired readers, looked-after children, adult learners
