National Bedtime Reading Month

 

Do you read with your mum or dad? Are they home in time to give you a bedtime story?

To find out, we asked 1,000 mums and dads how often they gave their children a story before they go to bed. It turns out that only half of dads read to their kids regularly, compared to seven out of 10 mums

That's why we launched The Children's Society's National Bedtime Reading Month. Our campaign was designed to encourage your parents or carers, and especially your dads, to read a bedtime story with you.

Reading a good story is not only fun, but it also helps you do better at school and succeed in later life!

To encourage dads to get reading, a great line-up of celebrity dads have recorded a bedtime story for the nation. They have videoed themselves reading Roald Dahl's hilarious 'Fantastic Mr Fox'.

Cool stuff for you
