Coram Beanstalk Information

Coram Beanstalk believes every child deserves the chance to become a confident, lifelong reader. For more than 50 years, we have partnered with schools, multi-academy trusts, virtual schools and communities across England and Wales to help children develop the reading skills, confidence and love of reading that unlock success. Our evidence-based programmes provide consistent, high-quality reading support through trained volunteers, delivering measurable academic and pastoral outcomes while keeping cost and administrative burden low for schools. We make it straightforward for education leaders to provide targeted reading intervention that improves reading attainment, builds confidence, increases engagement and nurtures a lifelong enjoyment of reading. Our services include: * Weekly, one-to-one, in-person reading sessions delivered by trained Reading Helpers in primary schools. * The Reading Leaders programme, empowering secondary school students to inspire younger readers through peer support. * Specialist training for early years settings, parents and carers to help build strong reading cultures. * Training and volunteering opportunities for organisations looking to create lasting social impact through literacy. We know that when children enjoy reading, the benefits extend far beyond literacy. Strong reading skills support achievement across the curriculum, improve wellbeing, strengthen confidence and create better life opportunities. For businesses, partnering with Coram Beanstalk is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children's futures while engaging employees through rewarding volunteering opportunities and fundraising initiatives that deliver measurable community impact. Whether you're a school, MAT, Virtual School or business, we'd love to work with you to help more children become confident readers.
