Our impact

Coram Beanstalk believes:

"Life changes when you choose reading"

We know that schools will engage with our service to support children who may be falling behind with reading, however consistent one-to-one support brings a range of benefits to children that impacts their whole school experience and engagement. Working under the umbrella of shared, positive, reading experiences, our reading helpers and reading leaders get to know children as individuals and champion them to believe in themselves. This focused time and attention, and exploration of a range of books, helps children to become more confident in themselves, allowing them to engage more fully in school life.

Primary Reading Helpers

"We very much value our relationship with Coram Beanstalk. The reading volunteers are brilliant. They build really positive relationships with pupils. They have time for pupils in a way that teachers and teaching assistants don't."
