📚Change lives by becoming a reading helper, supporter or partner school📚. Choosing to read has a greater impact on a child’s future success than their socio-economic background but 1 in 10 children never choose to read.👇. #ChooseReading #CreatingReaders

This is why our reading helpers read TO the children we work with- to give them that magical time & allow them to become fully absorbed in a story without having to read themselves.Reading to a child is the BEST way to create a reader.@HoratioClare 👌🏼.

We’re proud to support @Literacy_Trust & the Government in encouraging reading for pleasure. Research shows that children who choose to read can be more important to their futures than any other socio-economic factor.Every child should have the chance to be a reader.
With support from 30+ amazing partners & funders so far, we’ll launch school & community events across the UK. 72,000 books will be given to children in high-poverty areas this summer to kick-start the campaign. #NationalYearOfReading2026.

Only 1 in 3 young people (32.7%) enjoy reading – the lowest in 20 years. Reading is proven to boost learning, wellbeing, confidence & empathy. It’s time to turn the page.
