Turn on the Subtitles
The Access Group has partnered with ‘Turn on the Subtitles’ (TOTS), a groundbreaking initiative that has rapidly become the largest literacy campaign globally. This innovative campaign seeks to revolutionise the way children engage with television, doubling the chances of improving their reading skills.
Backed by the likes Jack Black, Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, Lenny Henry, as well as other leading academics and influencers.
The power of turning on the subtitles
Numerous studies worldwide have demonstrated the remarkable effectiveness of turning on subtitles while children watch television.
The simple act of incorporating subtitles can double the likelihood of a child becoming proficient in reading. This compelling evidence underscores the potential of a quick and free tip that can seamlessly turn TV time into reading time.
