Today, Friday 1 November, the Sun published an article about their Free Books for Schools initiative to encourage more pupils to read.

This initiative will see them give away £12 million worth of books for children in over 20,000 primary schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each box of books will contain more than 100 titles.

The Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has shown his support for the programme and contributed to the piece, talking about some of his favourite childhood books.
