  11. We’re going to use role modelsBecause NLT research shows: 11.

  12. Boys are twice as likely to say that cool kids at school and sports people can inspire them to read Young people from poorer backgrounds are twice as likely to say their role model is a sportsperson Other celebrities are influential but significantly lower Footballers influenceNLT research shows: 12.

Premier League Reading Stars How it works: • Each delivery setting... • …collects and logs reading data on their participating pupils… • ...delivers 10 football-themed literacy sessions including, where possible, a visit to a library and a visit from an author or similar… • …encourages and supports pupils to take part in the online challenges… • …submits end of project data for the evaluation • To support this activity each Premier League Club... • ...nominates one Reading Champion... • ...who chooses one children’s and one adults’ book... • ...and gives us a quote about why he loves reading and why he chose those titles… • …and sets 5 challenges for pupils, hosted online
