Premier League Reading Stars

Manchester United Foundation works in partnership with the Football Foundation to deliver the Premier League Reading Stars initiative. This project uses the power of Premier League clubs as a motivational tool to encourage children and adults to read. The project focuses on literacy and encourages parents to read with their children.

Each of the 20 Premier League clubs nominates a reading champion to recommend his favourite book and act as a role model to inspire a love of reading in children. Each Club then adopts at least one local library, which hosts a reading club based on the book choice of the player.

We are currently working in partnership with Trafford and Salford libraries.
