Prime Minister launches National Year of ReadingGordon Brown and Education Secretary Ed Balls were joined by a group of schoolchildren and children's writers at 10 Downing Street today for the launch of the National Year of Reading.
Children from City of London Academy and Loxford School of Science and Technology created 'reading corners' with beanbags and cushions and chatted with the Prime Minister about their favourite books.
The 2008 National Year of Reading has been launched to help build a greater national passion for the pastime among children, families and adult learners alike.
At the launch, Ed Balls called for every employer, school, library, college and local authority to get involved and sign up to the campaign by logging on to the National Year of Reading website.
