Expert advice on reading to your children

We've teamed up with children's author Peter Corey to help parents boost their children's reading skills while brushing up on their own, during the school holidays.

If you're a parent, grandparent, aunty or uncle then you can enjoy two free online storybooks by visiting www.learndirect.co.uk/readtogether. Both books are great for entertaining families while the kids are off, and for helping prepare children for the challenge of starting or going back to school. You can even personalise them so your children become the lead characters in each story.

Peter Corey has also talked to us about his top tips and favourite reads too!

If you want to brush up on your English skills, you might want to gain a Certificate in Adult Literacy too. It could help boost your confidence and it'll look great on your CV.
