Excellent news from
@Literacy_Trust today but there’s still a lot to do - and we’re determined to ensure that every child has the chance to become a reader.

📢Good news! 📢
Our latest research shows a modest upturn in children and young people's reading engagement in 2026.
This is positive, but we must keep going to embed reading into their everyday lives.
Find out more about the work we're doing: literacytrust.org.uk/reading…
ALT Last year, reading enjoyment among children and young people hit a 20-year low. This year, there's an upturn for the first time in five years. Graph compares 2025 (when 32.7% of children enjoyed reading) and 2026 (now at 36.1%).
