Given that so many of us are now spending so much time in our homes, now is an excellent time to take some time to enjoy reading for pleasure. Today, at 12.00 could you take some time out to ‘Drop Everything and Read’ for 20 minutes. This simple idea is to promote the importance of literacy and to spread the joy of reading for pleasure. Turn off computer screens, TVs and pick up a book, magazine, newspaper, audio books, etc and read quietly or indeed be read to for 20 minutes. Indeed, DEAR can be celebrated at any time on any day, or better still, every day!
