HOME is committed to promoting reading in Manchester and we are delighted to be part of the Read Manchester BookBench Project.
Book-shaped benches have been decorated by schools and community groups with designs inspired by books and reading. This summer, they will be displayed in various venues across the city.
3 BookBenches are on display here at HOME:
Chorlton Park Primary School – ‘Come read with me’
Cringle Brook Primary School – ‘Read for pleasure, read for life’
Saviour C of E Primary School – ‘Giraffes can’t dance’
Families are encouraged to follow the trail and children can complete literacy activities that link to the themes of some of the benches.
Read Manchester is a campaign from Manchester City Council and the National Literacy Trust to promote reading and boost literacy levels throughout the city.
To see the full list of benches on display throughout Manchester, please visit the Read Manchester website.
