In Knowsley we want to develop reading as learning experience as well as a cultural and social skill. In addition to a wide range of reading promotions we run various activities. Our Creative Writing Competition has developed from a Basic Skills course. We felt that people whose literary skills needed a little improvement would be capable of expressing their ideas in stories and poetry. We run several Reading Groups for adults, Words and Pictures sessions for under-fives and Chatterbooks groups for older children . We also host author visits and theatrical performances linked in with stories and reading.
