Last year 1 in 4 children left primary school unable to read well. These children are at risk of the damaging long-term effects of poor literacy. You can rewrite this story and ensure every child has the gift of reading by supporting the i's Christmas appeal today.

By donating today, you will give the gift of reading to children across the UK and help them to read, grow and thrive.

• £22 could provide one term’s reading support to a child
• £50 could provide ten books that can be used in our reading sessions
• £198 could provide one year’s reading support to three children
