Yesterday (20/11/08) I attended my first steering group meeting for the National Year of Reading in Sheffield. Ironically it was the last of the meetings but I was very glad I made it, simply to hear about the vast wealth of activities that have been taking place under the Year of Reading banner here in Sheffield.There is still lots to come however, so although the National Year of Reading effictevely ends in a month or so there are so many events still to come, and so many activites have been such a success this year, I am sure they will continue. And I am sure Reading Matters will continue to be involved.
The National Year of Reading website has some smart resources that will definately be of use, for example:
- The WikiReadia has some excellent resources organised into various topics so if you are looking for stuff specifically to read with boys, or teenagers or local items.
- What's On - find local events
- Reading Ideas, including free stuff and accessible reading resources
- You can also sign up for Email Updates
- Word of the week
- Nominate a Reading Hero
