Abstract

This report presents the findings of an independent evaluation undertaken by the Centre for Effective Education at Queen’s University Belfast of Business in the Community’s Time to Read mentoring programme. The evaluation focused specifically on assessing the impact of Time to Read on children. The evaluation team is indebted to the volunteer mentors and their companies, the school principals, teachers, children and parents that participated in the study and also The Atlantic Philanthropies whose generous support made the evaluation possible.
