Big news! 2026 has officially been announced as the National Year of Reading by Bridget Phillipson. We’re proud to join Department for Education to lead this national campaign to get the UK reading again. #NationalYearOfReading2026 nationalyearofreading.org.uk

Only 1 in 3 young people (32.7%) enjoy reading – the lowest in 20 years. Reading is proven to boost learning, wellbeing, confidence & empathy. It’s time to turn the page.

With support from 30+ amazing partners & funders so far, we’ll launch school & community events across the UK. 72,000 books will be given to children in high-poverty areas this summer to kick-start the campaign. #NationalYearOfReading2026

Reading is for everyone — parents, teachers, librarians, employers, carers, book lovers. Together, we can transform the UK’s reading culture for good. Join the mission: nationalyearofreading.org.uk The Reading Agency BookTrust World Book Day UK 📚
