The Dream Goal: Football Reads

Reading is for footballers too...

Reading is a great way to relax after you finish running around on the football field. Books can transport you to another country or even another world, books broaden your horizon and teach you things even though you don't realise you are learning. Books can make you laugh or cry, inspire you to try something different and they expand your mind too!

In Tameside there are lots of lucky people who work in Football. They like to read all sorts of books, because everyone enjoys something different - from non-fiction to short stories...

Our Reading Champions are members of the national Reading Champions campaign. Stephen Torsi, Reading Champions Project Manager from the National Reading Campaign had this to say about our Dream Goal champions. "By standing up and sharing their enthusiasm our Champions can help to change other people's attitudes towards reading. Sport has great motivational power and broad appeal, so it's fantastic that The Tameside Dream Goal Reading Champions have given their support and are setting such a positive example".
