How can we help our young people to love reading?

Our 127th podcast is with Jim Knight and Channell Fusco. Jim is a former Minister for Schools and current non-executive director of Nord Anglia Education and the E-ACT Multi Academy Trust. Channell is the UK sales director for the free app, Pickatale; an app that helps children become better readers.

  • The importance of parents reading to their children, and
