At Reading for Australia we recognise how lucky children who excel at reading are: both because they can escape into other dimensions through books but also because they often come from communities which are able to accommodate and fuel their reading interests.
Sadly, many indigenous communities are not similarly resourced and, as a result, lots of indigenous kids do not get to experience the joy and opportunity of books.
As a community with a definite commitment to literacy, the Kids' Lit Quiz Australia supports the Indigenous Literacy Foundation's work in extending the power of the book to all children by raising literacy levels and so improving the lives and opportunities of indigenous Australians living in remote and isolated regions.
