✨Everyone deserves encouragement, everyone deserves to be told they’re amazing and everyone should be recognised for just how much they’ve overcome. Uplift and empower those around you.

🌈✨ Exciting news! 🌈✨ Yesterday, Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson, announced that 2026 will be The National Year of Reading.

The National Year of Reading 2026 is a campaign to address the steep decline in reading amongst children, young people and adults. It is a Department for Education initiative, in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust.

The National Year of Reading will position reading as a powerful contemporary activity, and will aim to engage new audiences in reading and to change the national reading culture for good.

Reading is central to the Government’s Plan for Change: it supports success in school, work and in life, boosts wellbeing, brings people together and increases empathy.

Jonathan Douglas CBE, Hon FRSL, Chief Executive of the National Literacy Trust, said: “At a time when we are witnessing the lowest levels of reading enjoyment and daily reading in a generation, we are delighted to be working with the government to deliver the National Year of Reading 2026 - a bold, society-wide campaign to reimagine how we understand, support and promote reading. Reading is the foundation of a successful life - the key to unlocking potential, strengthening social cohesion, enhancing wellbeing and boosting skills.

The National Year of Reading 2026 presents an opportunity to join forces across sectors and redefine reading as a powerful, contemporary activity for a generation. Working closely with schools, families, libraries, communities and partners across the country, we will make reading a shared national mission - because every child, no matter their background, deserves the best start in life and every adult deserves to get the best out of life."

As a specialist children's publisher we wholeheartedly support this new initiative and look forward to contributing to lasting change through the National Year of Reading in 2026.

🌈✨ Fact of the week 🌈✨

Did you know the food you see in movies is all made of plastic?

Films only last a couple of hours, but making one can take years. Food stylists create fake foods from plastic and wax so that they can look realistic but are able to last through long filming sessions.
