“Read For Your Life” 

We all want our children become good readers. And the only way to become a good reader is to keep reading.  Every single book we read makes us a better reader. Learning to read is not something we do in the first few years of school, and that’s that. We have to keep reading, our whole lives long.

​

That’s why, as Laureate, I’m urging every child in Australia to join the library. And to go there regularly, week after week, to set up a lifelong habit of curious, adventurous wide reading. To become readers for life!
