Cornish Reading Wave Initiative (EDM886)

Cornish Reading Wave Initiative

EDM number 886 in 2008-09, proposed by Daniel Rogerson on 25/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Schools.

That this House commends the right hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam and the hon. Member for Yeovil for presenting plans to increase funding to Cornish schools by Â£22.1 million a year; notes the end of the National Year of Reading; welcomes Cornwall County Council's special initiative to keep momentum behind children's reading in a Cornish Reading Wave; further commends staff and students at Cornish schools for staging a series of competitions, poetry readings, story telling, book swaps, book reviews and drama projects as part of the Cornish Celebration of Reading; and believes that students' reading potential would be further improved if class sizes were cut in the infant years and funding followed the most disadvantaged pupils during their 5 to 19 education.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
