Reading, the Gift That Keeps on Giving.

We all know the importance of reading.  Not only can it be entertaining and help you learn about new things, it is hard to get by these days if you cannot read.

Those of you reading this may not be able to imagine what their life would be like if you could not read simple signs or important documents, but it has been estimated that there is still a large number of adults and young people in Brighton and Hove that are lacking in basic literacy skills.

This strategy aims to make Brighton & Hove a city where:

• Every child and young person can read
• Every adult can read
• Everyone enjoys reading and becomes a regular reader
• Everyone benefits from the advantages that the ability to read brings
• Everyone is supported so that any difficulties in learning to read are overcome.

So help the council support people to be able to know the joys of reading by completing our on-line survey.

We are happy to tell you that every person that completes our survey will go into a draw to win a £50 shopping voucher to either Tesco, Asda, or Sainsbury's.
