**The big picture:** The literacy scheme is part of Suffolk County Council's £2 million Ipswich Investment Fund, which is supporting 13 projects across the town.

**The details:** The programme will reach residents at every stage of their reading journey, including:

- Parents and babies groups
- Early years settings
- Primary schools
- Secondary schools
- Adult literacy programmes
- Coaching sessions

**What they’re saying:** Cllr Paul West, Suffolk County Council's cabinet member for Ipswich, operational highways and flooding, said: "The later projects focus on public safety, the environment and education giving all areas a real and welcome boost."

**The bottom line:** By targeting all age groups, the project aims to break down barriers to reading and boost literacy levels throughout the community.
