Starting in January 2008, the National Year of Reading is a campaign that encourages everyone of any age to discover the pleasure of reading. |

 | “We are without doubt, a nation with a great literary heritage and I want that to continue. I want 2008 to be the year of the book.” “It’s very important that we help more children to become confident readers.” |

| “The National Year of Reading is an ideal opportunity for us all to build on this success and encourage everyone of any age to pick up a book.” |  |

 | “Surveys have shown that one in ten children is never read a bedtime story and half of children rarely discuss reading at home. As a parent myself I know how hard it can be to find time, but just ten minutes a day can make a difference to a child’s future - and create a love of reading from a very early age.” |
