Our research, supported by @twinklresources, shows that the reading for pleasure crisis persists.
When fewer than 1 in 3 children enjoy reading and daily reading habits decline - it’s time for urgent, collective action.
Let's #GrowAGenerationOfReaders: literacytrust.org.uk/reading…
ALT Infographic by the National Literacy Trust showing two statistics about children's reading habits in 2025. Left side with dark blue background: Just 32.7% of children and young people aged 8 to 18 say they enjoy reading "very much" or "quite a lot" in 2025. Right side with light pink background: 'Only 18.7% of children and young people say they read something daily in their free time in 2025 – half the number reading daily 20 years ago.' Bottom includes the National Literacy Trust logo with the slogan Change your story and the hashtag Grow A Generation Of Readers.

Our first 2025 Reader of the Month is Gabriel! 🥳 He borrowed and read 34 books in January and is the biggest One Piece fan that Miss Grey has ever met. Well done, Gabriel! 🙌🏼

Such a rewarding library period with one of our hub classes this morning using Story Deck to discuss favourite genres and emotional responses. Topics covered: Pride Month, happy dogs, explosions, feeling sad, asking for help, and calm forests 🌳

Lovely to have our cluster P7s with us this week for their transition visits. Learning all about @ForAcad school values through a book character scavenger hunt 🕵🏻♀️🔎
