The Quay Book Club completes the Schoolreaders Book Club Challenge!

Author Sophie Neville advocating Schoolreaders' Book Club Challenge

The Quay Book Club in Lymington have just completed the Schoolreaders' quiz.
It was fun!


The questions were unusual and had us thinking.


Everyone was did well on 'Famous First Words',


we were a little flummoxed when it came to 'Children's Books',


but questions on 'Bookselling and Reading' were interesting. 


The quiz made for a fulfilling evening and we were all very glad to support such a good cause.

​Schoolreaders is an organisation that aims to help children improve their literacy by providing volunteers to listen to children read in schools with the support of organisations including WI, U3A, Inner Wheel and Age UK.

​What do we do?
We match reading volunteers with local primary schools to listen to children read in schools on a 1-1 basis. 
This is a free service for both the school and volunteer.

We launched in Bedfordshire in 2013 and are open to applications throughout the UK.
