The National Literacy Trust has commissioned a stunning poem from Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho called The Gift Of Reading, which captures the beauty of just that - sharing stories with friends, families and our communities. The poem also celebrates the Big Help Out and the hundreds of incredible National Literacy Trust volunteers across the country who encourage literacy and reading for pleasure in their communities. Why not share this poem far and wide and encourage people to experience the joy of sharing stories together.
