Along with other Gosport schools we are promoting  this simple, free and effective way to improve children’s literacy skills.

73% of 5-7 year olds and 78% of 8-11 year olds watch video-on-demand. By turning on the subtitles, you can double the chance of a child becoming good at reading.

The campaign has garnered much attention nationwide with celebrity backers including Stephen Fry, Sir Lenny Henry, Sandi Toksvig, Phillip Schofield and Rachel Riley amongst those joining the call for more parents to embrace this idea.

We would encourage you to support this scheme. You can find out more here: https://turnonthesubtitles.org/

Sir Lenny Henry – “Just turn on the subtitles. Extraordinary. Research has shown they can double the chances of a child becoming good at reading”
Stephen Fry – “Top scientists have proven that turning on the subtitles of TV programmes can double the chances of a child becoming good at reading”
