Letterbox Club testimonials
Foster carers and educational practitioners share their thoughts on the difference that Letterbox Club has made for children in their care.
Someone is sending me parcels in the post. Someone has remembered me.’ That’s the kind of thing I often hear from talking to children in foster care who have received a BookTrust parcel.
Niki Freckelton, Officer for Children Looked After, Virtual School, Southampton City Council
We recognise that schools are under pressure to meet academic targets and we like the Letterbox Club because it’s an opportunity for those children who might be struggling with the reading process, to read for pleasure.
Katie Tilley, Early Years and Primary Consultant, Lambeth Virtual School, Lambeth Council
It’s like getting a present on your birthday. It’s a great way to introduce them to different things and we get a real mix of books from educational ones to more engaging ones.
