HarperCollins UK is delighted to support the Department for Education and National Literacy Trust in the launch of the National Year of Reading 2026! 🎉
This could not come at a more crucial time: NLT research indicates record lows in the number of children reading for pleasure, and our studies have highlighted a sharp decline in the number of children being read to.
Reading for pleasure has the power to transform lives— it boosts creativity, confidence, attainment, wellbeing, empathy and provides opportunities for people of all ages.
We look forward to working with cross-sector partners to inspire the next generation of lifelong readers in this government-backed national campaign.
