Abstract
In 2023 PRG spearheaded a partnership project with adult literacy specialists and prison education provider Novus to create reading groups aimed at emergent readers. Many prisoners feel they struggle with reading. There are some good basic skills courses, excellent initiatives like Shannon Trust’s Turning Pages and creative projects organised by prison libraries. Becoming a reader is also about stamina, commitment and developing interest. This is where a reading group can really help by offering a space for supported reading and enjoyable book talk.
