Passionet’s Managing Director Natalie Smith comments, “Over the three years that Passionet has been around, we have run workshops in schools and worked in communities nationwide. We are committed to encouraging young people to read books that reflect their lives and interests and get them excited and inspired about reading, and Star Reads is an opportunity to do just this.” Director of the National Literacy Trust Neil McClelland adds, “By teaming up with celebrities, Star Reads can help to inspire young people to become lifelong readers. We are delighted that these stars have given their time to help reach out to young people in this innovative way.” The posters can be ordered online at www.starreads.org from 11 September 2006.
