Two literacy experts have been appointed to drive forward the Scottish Executive's Home Reading initiative, which aims to encourage more parents to read with their children. The Home Reading co-ordinators, Lindsey Fraser and Kathryn Ross, who formerly worked for the Scottish Book Trust, will work with the Executive to develop the scheme over the next three years. Their tasks will include developing a website for parents, devising a CD to encourage parents and children to read together and recruiting and overseeing the work of Reading Champions - people who are publicly working to raise literacy levels.
