Call You & Yours: How do you find time for books, and how can we encourage children and young people to read?
Call You & Yours: How do you find time for books, and how can we encourage children and young people to read?
On today's Call You & Yours we're asking: "How do you find time for books and how can we encourage children and young people to read?"
A recent survey showed the number of children and young people who say they enjoy reading is at its lowest for twenty years.
We have less and less time in the modern world to settle down with a book - but many of us are still reading - using our phones or tablets to read the news or online magazines.
Perhaps you listen to audiobooks which are growing in sales. Maybe you've had to schedule time to read in your day, putting your phone in another room...
How do you find time for books and how can we encourage children and young people to read?
