4. DONATE A BOOK BUZZ PACK: The Book Buzz project aims to raise literacy levels of young children living in remote communities by recognising the need for early experience and contact with books.

5. RAISE AWARENESS: Allow your staff, students and yourself to stop and read for at least 15 minutes on Wednesday as an act of remembering those who aren’t fortunate enough to enjoy all the benefits that being literate can bring.
