Hardmoor Early Years Centre is committed to promoting all aspects of reading, we have been joining the ‘Share a million stories campaign’. The ‘Share a million stories campaign’ is nationwide with the aim of spreading a love of books and reading for pleasure both in Early Years settings and at home, to make story-sharing the habit of a lifetime. We will be counting how many stories are shared at nursery and at home. We sent home a reading record, for every story you share with your child over the five week period.
