Focus on Education

Last week the National Literacy Trust published a report on mental wellbeing, reading and writing. The trust surveyed nearly fifty thousand school-age children in the UK and found that children who are the most engaged with reading and writing (i.e. those who enjoy it, do it daily and have positive attitudes towards it) are three times more likely to have higher levels of mental wellbeing than children who don’t. The report is well worth a read and the website also has a link to top tips and reading lists for parents. Please click here for more details.
