Partnering to Inspire a Love of Reading: Jersey Evening Post Book Review Series

We’re delighted to be teaming up with the Jersey Evening Post to bring you weekly book reviews designed to inspire shared reading experiences with children. Reading for pleasure has countless benefits, from boosting imagination, empathy, and focus, to building vocabulary, independence, and general knowledge.

Through this partnership, we hope to encourage families across Jersey to explore the joy of reading together. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or carer, you play a vital role in sparking a child’s curiosity and modelling a lifelong love of books.

We believe that every child in Jersey deserves the chance to discover the magic of stories and maybe some of the books we feature will catch your eye too. If you’d like to support our work or suggest a book for review, we’d love to hear from you.
