Love poetry

I've just read that the charity Booktrust is planning to give reception pupils a book of poetry to inspire a love of reading.

I love this idea, when I was younger I used to read all the time, my parents frequently read to me and I had a great collection of poetry books, many of which I've kept to this day.

Although I'm a lot busier now than when I was when I was five, I still find time to read as much as I can.

I honestly think that reading so much helped my vocabulary and spelling when I was growing up and led me to the career I'm in now. At Gemini PR we can often tell if a candidate for a job is a reader because the standard of their CV and their writing is much higher.

So I'm all for this, I'm just disappointed I don't qualify for the free book!
