A new £145,024 initiative will target literacy improvement throughout Ipswich. The 'Let's Talk Reading' project will work across multiple settings from parent and baby groups to adult literacy coaching.
The big picture: The literacy scheme is part of Suffolk County Council's £2 million Ipswich Investment Fund, which is supporting 13 projects across the town.
The details: The programme will reach residents at every stage of their reading journey, including:
Parents and babies groups
Early years settings
Primary schools
Secondary schools
Adult literacy programmes
Coaching sessions
What they’re saying: Cllr Paul West, Suffolk County Council's cabinet member for Ipswich, operational highways and flooding, said: "The later projects focus on public safety, the environment and education giving all areas a real and welcome boost."
The bottom line: By targeting all age groups, the project aims to break down barriers to reading and boost literacy levels throughout the community.
