The Reading Hour is an annual initiative, held on the Saturday after Book Week each August. Designed to encourage parents and carers to read to children, it's a great excuse to grab a pile of books and get reading.
Children who are read to from an early age, have a real life advantage. Developing a love of books expands the hearts, souls and minds of our children, and is vital for full literacy.
This Saturday 24 August, from 5pm to 6pm, join people from all over Australia as we read to our children.
