Read to Lead – Swansea – Tuesday 13th July
The next Read to Lead Workshop will be in Swansea on Tuesday 13th July.
This workshop will give you an introduction to The Reader Organisation's work and ethos, including a chance to experience Get Into Reading for yourself.
It was a joy and a privilege to be there. I think it’s such a wonderful thing you’re doing – on so many levels. Very many thanks for an inspiring day.

Specifically, the Read to Lead Workshop will
- Develop your understanding of the theory and practice of Get Into Reading;
- Give you a chance to experience shared reading aloud as part of a Get Into Reading group;
- Introduce you to specialised shared reading and group facilitation techniques;
- Build your local contact base of people who are interested in starting a project;
- Give you the opportunity to discuss strategies for developing shared reading groups in your area;
- Inform you about full Read to Lead Training courses and the University of Liverpool’s ‘Reading in Practice’ MA.
Booking and Fees
This course is open to people from all professional and social backgrounds: a love of books, a belief in the social value of reading, and a passion to share this vision are what we look for in trainees.
The cost of the day is £150, including lunch and refreshments.
