Administration support volunteer volunteer roles
Who they are
Bookmark Reading Charity was established in 2018 with a clear and simple vision: that every child should be able to read. In England, one in four children leave primary school unable to read at the expected standard. Bookmark works to improve children’s literacy by fostering a culture of reading for pleasure in primary schools, with a particular focus on supporting children in the most disadvantaged communities.
The role
Bookmark Reading Charity exists to change children’s life stories through the joy of reading.
In a typical year, one in four children in an average class will leave primary school unable to read well. These children often struggle throughout their education and later in life and are at risk of becoming part of the seven million adults in the UK who face daily challenges with basic reading. Literacy extends far beyond books: it affects the ability to read road signs, safety instructions, job applications, medical prescriptions, and everyday communications. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are disproportionately affected; four in ten children eligible for free school meals are unable to read well by the age of 11. Poor literacy is closely linked to reduced employment opportunities, poorer health outcomes, low self-esteem, and even reduced life expectancy.
Bookmark’s ambition is for every child to read.
As a leading reading charity for primary school children, Bookmark partners with schools to develop whole-school reading cultures and deliver one-to-one reading support. Through a flexible, volunteer-led programme, children gain the reading skills and confidence they need to have a fair chance in life. Bookmark has delivered the first year of its three-year strategy and is working towards partnering with 1,000 primary schools, enabling 500,000 children to benefit from a Bookmark literacy programme. Through the support of its Trustees, the charity aims to change the stories of the children who need it most.
