Nursery World - Pyjamarama returns to make sure no child misses out on their bedtime story

BookTrust is back with its fun, annual dress-up campaign to encourage children of all ages to read for enjoyment.

On 16 June, children all around the country – in nurseries, in schools and at home - will spend the day reading and sharing stories with each other.

Pyjamarama is one of BookTrust’s programmes that raises money for children who do not have access to books or reading early on in their lives. The money raised goes into resources and campaigns to bridge the reading gap and give every child the same opportunity to love reading.

Children are encouraged to wear their pyjamas to school and to bring their favourite books to share with other children as well as being read to by teachers. The idea is to promote an essential skill with fun and inclusive activities.
