The Internet is driven by words, keywords and phrases, images and
various types of embedded media or apps, to be part of this information
and entertainment stream you have to be able to read. If you can't read
then you have a limited experience.
Here is a great initiative – try to support and help with this mission: Quick Reads, which has a huge impact on helping thousands of adults improve their literacy, will be encouraging adults to ‘start a new chapter’ in 2013.
- Veronica Henry - A Sea Change
- Andy McNab – Today Everything Changes
- Kathy Lette – Love is Blind
- Simon Kernick – Wrong Time, Wrong Place
- Minette Walters – A Dreadful Murder
- Mike Tucker – Doctor Who, The Silurian Gift
These books are bite-sized novels which are clearly printed and presented.
Since its launch in 2006, Quick Reads
has sold and distributed over 4 million books through supermarkets,
bookshops, workplaces and prisons. NIACE has led the outreach work since
the start of the initiative and continues to work with employers and
workplaces to encourage adults to read more and improve their skills.
Craig spends as much time as he can
at the beach hut in Everdene he rents with a few of his mates. As a
policeman, it is a restful change from his daily life, and he’s surfing
mad. One weekend he’s down there on his own when he notices a girl on
the beach. He’s young, free and single and she catches his eye. But on this particular summer weekend, both Jenna and Craig’s lives are about to change . . .
