    A scheme aimed at raising literacy levels in Bradford is giving away winter-themed books to children.

    Bradford Stories was launched by the The National Literacy Trust four years ago and is offering parents the chance to win one of 20 different titles for their child.

    New research carried out by the trust shows that the more books a child owns, the greater the likelihood he or she will do well at school and be happy.
