Get Woodberry Down reading!
Welcome to the homepage for Get Woodberry Down Reading. Our campaign is inspired by, but different, from the others! It is not new! It has been going for many years and will not stop. The most important thing we do is to teach children how to read (how to decode) and then to become readers (how to become people that read books and other materials with understanding, enjoyment, confidence and independence). Our approach means it is a relentless task, one that brings great pleasure to all.
