Reading Bridge Intro Session

Do you know any young adults aged 16+ who are interested in a career in teaching, childcare, social care or youth mentoring?

Join Nova’s new Reading Bridge project — an opportunity to take part in monthly interactive workshops on storytelling and mentoring. You’ll learn how to bring stories to life and support younger readers in Nova’s online book clubs for children in Years 1 and 2.

These workshops will help you develop engaging storytelling techniques, mentoring skills, and confidence in supporting shy or reluctant readers — while strengthening your own literacy, communication and leadership skills. 

It’s ideal preparation for careers in education, youth work, or social care, and a great addition to your CV, UCAS personal statement, or apprenticeship applications.

Monthly online sessions will run through Autumn 2025 and Spring 2026 (dates to be confirmed) and you can join this Intro Session to find out more!
