The Singapore Book Publishers Association invites members and guests to discuss the Scholastic Kids and Family Reading Report​​ and Scholastic's approach to kids' reading, with the aim of stimulating discussion of what we can do to improve the ecosystem in Singapore, as well as hear Scholastic's strategic approach to the field.

As the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books through school-based book clubs and book fairs, classroom libraries, school and public libraries, retail, and online, and with a global reach into more than 135 countries, Scholastic encourages the personal and intellectual growth of all children, while nurturing a lifelong relationship with reading, themselves, and the world around them. Peter Warwick is President and CEO of Scholastic Inc., the third CEO in Scholastic's more than 100-year history, and leads the Company's global teams to ensure every child has access to literacy and compelling stories.

This is a unique opportunity to hear from the CEO how Scholastic sees the world of children's books and media, and the ways reading helps children's emotional and intellectual development. Mr. Warwick will share findings from the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report, the Company's landmark research, now in its ninth edition, on parents' and children's reading attitudes and behaviours, and the importance of helping all children discover the power and joy of reading.
