We work with primary, secondary and virtual schools to enable children to grow a love for reading - in turn improving their confidence and well-being, and their attainment across the curriculum. Over the past 50 years, we have developed our expertise in making this happen. Let us help you to reach the children who would benefit from one-to-one support.
Our trained volunteers are at the heart of what we do. Each week they are in primary schools delivering fun, interactive, reading experiences. They provide one-to-one support to children, giving them the help and encouragement they need to find books that inspire and delight, setting children on a path to become readers for life.
By choosing Coram Beanstalk as your next charity partner, we guarantee to make things fun and impactful for you and your employees.
Leave a gift in your will to help children become readers with the best chance in life.
Explore our Coram Beanstalk resources created for teachers to promote reading for pleasure in the classroom or to share with parents, to encourage family reading activities during the holidays and weekends.
We want every child to enjoy the magic of books and for every adult to feel comfortable reading with the children in their lives. Our Coram Beanstalk activities, tips and book-based games can take the pressure off and turn reading from a chore into a joy.
