The books in the scheme have been chosen explicitly by schools and libraries to appeal to year four students (8-9 years old), which is the age that most students start to read independently for the first time. The books selected to cover a wide range of abilities and interests so all children can enjoy the magic of reading. Each book also includes a token for the child to take to their local library to sign up for the library’s Summer Reading Challenge, which runs across the country. Participants in the scheme will have the chance to win exciting prizes for themselves and their classmates.
Andrew Ball, Global Corporate Communications Manager, said, “We are delighted to support Nick Gibb’s ‘Read to Succeed’ campaign. Rolls-Royce is the world’s leading luxury manufacturer, but is equally a local company that strives to be an excellent neighbor and good community citizen. We work with many local schools, colleges and universities and the campaign was a natural extension of this ongoing support.”
Nick Gibb said, ‘I am hugely grateful to Rolls-Royce for sponsoring my ‘Read to Succeed’ scheme and helping us to reach our target of giving away a book to every year 4 pupil in the constituency. Along with their support have been generous donations from businesses, individuals and community groups across the local area. I hope the children will enjoy their book and it will inspire them to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge at the local library for a chance to win one of the excellent prizes.”
