“…daily reading for pleasure is associated with better performance in school…”

PISA In Focus

  It has long been known that children who read for pleasure achieve greater success than those who don’t, yet a recent OECD report ranked the UK 47th out of 65 nations in a table based on the percentage of students who read regularly for enjoyment.
 
However, hundreds of thousands of students in primary and secondary schools and academies across the UK are reading books for pleasure every day, which is positively affecting other areas of the curriculum.  
Not only are we going to share with you the secrets of their success within the pages of this website, but also provide a host of resources, activities and competitions for you and your students – with the chance to win fantastic prizes!
