Book Bug

Book Bug is a children’s reading initiative in Scotland, aimed at fostering a love of reading from an early age. The program provides free books to children at key stages—specifically, when they turn one, three, and five years old. It encourages parents and caregivers to read with their children, enhancing language skills and early literacy. Book Bug also offers workshops and events promoting interactive reading experiences. By engaging families and communities, it seeks to improve literacy rates and ensure that every child has the opportunity to enjoy reading as a valuable part of their development.
