Our research and the evidence we use

Reading for Pleasure, as reported by NLT, declined still further in 2024. World Book Day have also been carrying out work on identifying the specific barriers for children in seeing themselves as readers and choosing to do it in their free time. 

For the last two years we have carried out research with Beano Brain to speak directly to children aged 7-14 and their families about reading for fun.

All our resources support our evidence informed 6 elements of Reading for Pleasure.

Being read to regularly

Having books at home and at school

Having a choice in what to read

Finding time to read

Having trusted help to find a book

Making reading FUN!
