The Minister of State for Schools Nick Gibb visited the TSL offices on 9 February to take part in a TES web chat on how we can encourage children and young people of all ages to read more books.
Nick gave a speech on this very subject in which he announced that the DfE has launched a National Schools Reading Competition for 7-12 year olds.
