Prime Minister says "Reading Matters"

David Cameron reads with Divine Obijiaku: from Evening Standard Website

Reading matters for two simple reasons, he told pupils. "If we don't learn to read properly, then everything else in education is a closed book. But above and beyond that, reading is a joy and a pleasure and it is for life."
