WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners.

Children's success at school should not be limited by their socio-economic background. We want all children to be able to choose their own future and we believe in a world where everyone, regardless of background, has access to an equal school. If we give all children equal opportunities to succeed in the classroom, we can build a strong democratic society in the future, where diversity, knowledge and creativity, characterised by strong leadership, drive Sweden forward. Through good leadership in the classroom, and with the conviction that all children are capable, we work for an equal school. This requires teachers who lead, and who help students reach their full potential.
