300 pupils in Leicester set to become ‘Rugby Reading Champions’
Jim Sells, Sport and Literacy Programme Manager at the National Literacy Trust, said: “We’ve seen first-hand how bringing sport into the classroom can level the playing field for children who have fallen behind in their reading. Rugby is an important part of family life in Leicester, so we are thrilled to be working with Leicester Tigers to get children who might otherwise be disengaged with reading excited about it. Rugby Reading Champions is bursting with inspirational materials to get children reading – from exciting videos from their role models at Leicester Tigers to bright and brilliant rugby-themed books and posters. Using the power of rugby, we hope to help 300 children in Leicester develop the reading skills, confidence and enjoyment they need to flourish at school and beyond.”
