READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children’s life chances. So whatever else you do, please never stop helping kids find books to read & love. Never stop sharing books, talking about books, celebrating books & reading. It will change their lives! #literacy

I like the idea of a year that prioritises reading. Let’s make 2026 the year we reopen closed libraries, open new ones and reverse the loss of school librarians.
