Back-to-school season always feels like a fresh start. New timetables, new routines, new pupils. But one thing rarely feels new — the mountain of paperwork and admin that comes with it.

The countdown to the National Year of Reading 2026 has already begun, bringing a powerful opportunity for schools, teachers, and families to reignite the joy of reading in children’s lives.

The UK government has declared 2026 the National Year of Reading—a bold, necessary initiative to combat declining literacy rates and reignite the country’s love for reading. Led by the Department for Education in partnership with the National Literacy Trust, the campaign signals a nationwide effort to bring books back to the heart of daily life—at home, in schools, and across communities.

If you're a teacher and a parent, you already understand the importance of consistent reading — and the impact it can have on a child's development. At school, you're tracking reading progress, encouraging daily habits, and celebrating milestones. At home? You want the same — but life can often get in the way.

The summer holidays are a well-earned break — especially for teachers, and definitely for families. But while it’s tempting to let go of all routines, there’s one habit worth keeping on track: reading.

In primary education, reading opens every door — it builds vocabulary, boosts comprehension, and gives children the confidence to thrive across the whole curriculum.

Whether it’s exploring magical worlds, solving mysteries, or meeting unforgettable characters, books open up endless possibilities for children.
