More than 25,000 children across Wales will share bilingual rhymes, stories and songs as part of the celebration this week. This is being encouraged in schools, nurseries and at home across the country from the 6-10 February.

Bwci Bo creators, Joanna Davies and Steven Goldstone have written new rhymes especially for BootTrust. Poet and writer, Sarah King and actress Rhiannon Oliver are also to get involved by sharing their own bilingual rhymes as well as resources to be used by children to encourage getting involved.

Big Welsh Rhyme Time is developed with the help of the Welsh government to support children’s language and development in the hope of ‘igniting a passion for reading’ in Welsh children.
