Ferdinand Helps Launch 'Reading Stars'

Rio Helps Launch New Reading Initiative
Rio Ferdinand is among a host of Premiership footballers to help launch
a new national initiative aimed at encouraging families to read together.
Set in local libraries, Premier League Reading Stars sees top players
such as Ferdinand, Sol Campbell and David James encourage football
fans to read their favourite books.
The programme is a partnership between the Football Foundation,
the National Literacy Trust and the Premier League, and is supported
by Arts Council England.
Each club has nominated a Reading Champion, who has selected his
favourite book to create a 'Reading Stars' book list. The clubs have
adopted nearly 40 local libraries. Reading groups, made up of children
and adults, meet at the libraries on a regular basis to talk about
their heroes’ recommendations.
Children taking part in the scheme will be able to select free books
to keep and there are incentives provided by the clubs for participants,
such as ground tours and match tickets.
Piloted in 2003, the scheme was highly successful; 90% of the children
taking part said it had made them want to read more.
Dave Richards, chairman of the Premier League and the Football
Foundation, said: “Through schemes like Premier League Reading Stars,
football is using the interest and passion generated by the game to
raise educational standards.
“By encouraging people to read and go to their public libraries,
footballers can show the positive role that they can play in society.”
Neil McClelland, director of the National Literacy Trust, added:
“Research has indicated that children growing up in a home with books
and parents who read are more likely to read themselves and have
stronger literacy skills.
"An innovative scheme like Premier League Reading Stars is powerful
because it uses a passion for football to introduce reading for pleasure
as an acceptable and fun family activity.”
