Boosts kids’ love of reading

The National Literacy Trust carried out an independent evaluation with over 500 children. It showed that reading First News led to positive changes in children’s reading attitudes and attainment.

“I love getting home from school on Friday and First News has arrived. We have it in the kitchen and I share it with my sisters so we all talk about what we’ve read.”
