Hungry Little Minds
The Secretary of State for Education announced the government’s ambition to halve in 10 years the proportion of children who finish reception year without the communication, language and literacy skills they need to thrive.
As a result, the Department for Education has launched Hungry Little Minds – a new 3-year campaign to encourage parents to engage in activities that support their child’s early learning and help set them up for school and beyond.
Read the full press release.
Please see attached a campaign launch toolkit which explains some of the research and the key messages of the campaign.
Hungry Little Minds supports the home learning environment.
