A future cut short
Every year, 150,000 of the UK鈥檚 poorest children start school with language skills 19 months behind their peers. This is a gap most will never recover from and one which devastates their chances of success in school, work and life.聽
Ashley and Jaden
Ashley can鈥檛 read. She grew up in poverty with illiterate parents and no books in the home. When Ashley became a mum, she didn鈥檛 have the skills to support her son Jaden鈥檚 literacy at home. She couldn鈥檛 even read him a bedtime story. By the time Jaden started nursery, his language skills were so underdeveloped that he was put on the register for Special Educational Needs.
Changing children鈥檚 life stories
We trained Jaden鈥檚 nursery teachers to help Ashley learn new ways to share stories with her son without having to read the words in a book. Her confidence has soared and Jaden is flourishing. Jaden will start school in September with better literacy skills than many of the children he once lagged behind. We need your help to change the life stories of more children like Jaden.
