A National Literacy Trust evaluation in May – July 2015 of First News activities in schools found that children made significant progress in reading, and their attitudes to and behaviours around reading improved.
“Using First News and the reading activities has been so productive and rewarding both for the pupils, who thoroughly enjoyed it, and for those of us who have seen their confidence and interest in reading soar.”
Stitch Byrne, Teacher, Perrot Hill School
