Coram Beanstalk

Coram Beanstalk is the leading charity provider of one-to-one, in-person, reading support in primary schools. We have worked with thousands of schools across the country since 1973, using our evidence-based reading for pleasure approach to help children switch onto reading, learn to read and become confident independent readers.

Coram Beanstalk believes that when a child becomes a reader, they get the very best chance in life, and that you can only become a reader if you have an interest in books and a want to read.

We diligently vet, train and support a large network of high quality reading helpers, equipping them with the skills to run sessions from EYFS to KS2 to give children a positive reading experience.

Our weekly one-to-one support is proven to boost reading attainment as well as improving confidence and attitude to learning. It gives children consistent time with a trusted adult to enjoy sharing engaging children’s books from a range of authors and genres which we know not all children have access to within the home.
