Jermaine Jenas and Mr Midas are among the famous names taking part in this year’s Star Reads campaign, which is run by RED Reads and the National Literacy Trust. The campaign brings together actors, singers and presenters to promote  reading for pleasure. Star Reads aims to inspire young people to read more, particularly those from inner-city and black and minority ethnic backgrounds. It provides multicultural booklists and reading promotion posters that teachers can use as a focus for Black History Month in October and throughout the school year.

The celebrities starring on the posters are:

Jermaine Jenas - footballer

Sway - musician

N-DUBZ – hip hop trio

Mr Midas – musician and actor

 Booty Luv – dance music group
