Reading holds the power to open doors everywhere, no matter where a child lives, nor their family background. At Seven Stories, we offer a one-of-a-kind educational programme that directly improves literacy and oracy while promoting wellbeing across the North East and wider region.

A love of reading not only develops essential literacy skills, helping children to become fluent readers and speakers, independent thinkers and writers, it also connects them with alternative ideas, experiences, places and times – fuelling imagination and creativity, and inspiring the thinkers, creators, writers, illustrators, carers, educators and entrepreneurs of the future.

Our extensive educational programme guides teachers, parents, home-educators and those working with children and young people to share the power of stories and encourage young readers to tell their own stories, in their own ways.
