Περίληψη: Reading shapes how children and young people learn, feel and engage with the world. Yet across the UK and internationally, it is becoming less central to everyday life. 2026 marks the National Year of Reading, a nationwide effort to re-energise reading as a meaningful, accessible, everyday activity. Bringing together partners across sectors, it aims to support more children, young people and adults to find time, motivation and opportunities to read, with a particular focus on those most at risk of disengagement. This report builds on that context, offering the latest insights into children and young people's reading behaviours, attitudes and experiences in 2026, and providing an early signal of how these may be shifting as the National Year of Reading begins. The National Literacy Trust asked 125,375 children and young people aged 5 to 18 from 479 schools across the UK who took part in their Annual Literacy Survey about their reading in 2026. The report is structured in two parts. The first part looks at children and young people's reading enjoyment and how often they read in their free time, including demographic differences and trends over time. These measures provide an overview of current levels of reading engagement and how these have changed in recent years. The second part looks more broadly at the role reading plays in children and young people's lives. It explores how children and young people experience reading in relation to learning, understanding others, self-understanding and wellbeing, as well as the wider factors that may help support reading, including interest and encouragement at home and at school.
