📚 🌍 Happy World Book Day! 🌍 📚 This year’s theme is "Read Your Way", celebrating everyone’s unique reading journey. Whether it’s a book, comic, or audiobook - it’s about finding the stories that spark imagination and a love for reading. 📚 So we’re delighted to be championing two key messages: 📖 Reading is for everyone – whatever your age, background, or ability, there’s a story for you. 🌟 Reading changes lives – developing strong reading skills opens doors to learning, confidence, and future opportunities. And that’s why we’re so proud of our partnership with Chapter One UK, a brilliant charity that helps children develop essential reading skills by pairing them with trained reading volunteers. Sadly, 1 in 4 children leave primary school without reaching the expected reading level - making it harder for them to succeed in education and beyond. At Compare the Market, we have 20 amazing volunteers who dedicate time each week to support children at a local school in #Peterborough. Through fun and engaging online reading sessions, they’re helping young minds grow - one story at a time! 📖✨ A huge THANK YOU to our brilliant volunteers for making a real difference, Nicola D., our Head of Compliance & Conduct, sums it up brilliantly: 💬 "As a reading buddy, I’ve had the privilege of supporting two young readers on their literacy journey, helping to build their confidence and foster a love for books. It’s incredibly rewarding to see children grow in their reading ability and enthusiasm, especially when they engage with stories and develop their own curiosity." #WorldBookDay #ReadYourWay #MakingReadingMagical #MeerkatMagic
