At Coram Beanstalk we are very proud of the work we do in secondary schools delivering our Reading Leaders programme.

Our programme trains young people from years 9 – 13 to become reading leaders in their school and support younger reading partners in year 7or 8 to build their confidence in reading.

This month we are sharing a selection of Beanstalk Brilliant books aimed at 11-13 year olds, which are perfect for encouraging reading for pleasure and have chosen the very brilliant 'Oh Mummy Mia!' by Maz Evans as our Book of the Month.
