BookTrust Storytime

Supporting more dads to get involved in story time

Our research shows that some dads lack confidence when reading with their children or don’t know what books to choose. Thanks to your support, we gift BookTrust packs to thousands of libraries across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These packs include five specially selected books and lots of fun resources, ideal for reading with under 5s, and show families how reading aloud can be fun. 

BookTrust and WILD – using storytime to empower parents as reading role models

Just relax. Don't worry about it. Your child's not going to be judgmental. They'll enjoy doing something with you

Paul, librarian
