Pageticker, Supporting The National Year of Reading 2026 📖
Pageticker is proud to support a nationwide reading movement
The UK government has declared 2026 the National Year of Reading—a major initiative to promote reading for pleasure and raise literacy across the country. That’s why we’re proud to support this campaign and help shift the nation’s reading culture for good. At Pageticker, we are perfectly placed to support this mission, helping schools and families nurture a lifelong love of reading through our digital reading diary.
The National Year of Reading 2026 plans to:
-
Encourage reading for pleasure
-
Bring together communities and national partners
-
Reimagine reading for today’s world
-
Inspire new readers of all ages
-
Help businesses and workplaces champion reading
Why it matters
Reading for pleasure is at its lowest point in years, and too many children still leave primary school without the literacy skills they need. That’s why the National Year of Reading 2026 matters—not just to us, but to the millions of children across the country.
We’re energised by the idea of reading taking centre stage in the national conversation. Because reading doesn’t just unlock academic success—it builds confidence, supports mental wellbeing, and helps children feel more connected to the world around them.
Together, Let's Make Reading Count in 2026
As part of the National Year of Reading, schools are being encouraged to innovate their reading provision. Pageticker helps you deliver impact without extra workload—whether you’re launching a whole-school reading challenge or boosting engagement in KS1 and KS2.
Families can also bring reading to life at home with our Pageticker app; discover new reads, log books, set goals, and celebrate reading success—together.
