DescriptionsEdit Descriptions

Stori Sydyn is the Welsh language strand of the Quick Reads project. Quick Reads are a series of short books by bestselling authors and celebrities. With no more than 128 pages, they are designed to encourage adults who do not read often, or find reading tough, to discover the joy of books. Quick Reads are a collaboration amongst leading publishers, supermarkets, bookshops, libraries, government departments, the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE), Arts Council England, the BBC, World Book Day, National Book Tokens and more. They are used as a resource for adult literacy teaching and have been used in Skills for Life and ESOL classes in colleges, community centres, libraries, prisons and workplaces across the country. They have also been used in hospitals, stroke recovery units, dyslexia centres, care homes, family learning groups, pre-schools, organisations working with homeless people and traveller communities, and Army and RAF bases.Four books are published in Welsh each year (Stori Sydyn), and four in English (Quick Reads, as in England), by Welsh authors or celebrities. The campaign in Wales uses the same branding as the campaign in England, but it is bilingual. Funding for this comes from the Welsh National Assembly via Basic Skills Cymru, part of the National Basic Skills Strategy. (English, Unclassified)

In early 2024 the Welsh Books Council website was only listing two Welsh titles and two English titles for each of 2020 and 2022, and nothing for 2021 or 2023. (English, Unclassified)
