Reading Ahead builds reading confidence, skills and encourages everyone to read more. Run in prisons, public libraries, colleges, adult community learning settings and workplaces, Reading Ahead engages people in the joy of reading, often for the first time, which in turn helps them to improve their language and literacy skills.
Participants choose six reads: books, magazines, recipes, letters – anything! After completing each read, they share their thoughts on what they’ve read by filling out a review in a personal Reading Diary and work towards receiving a certificate of achievement. Readers can use the Reading Agency database to search for material. For more information or to pick up a Reading Ahead diary, call into the LRC.
