Brought to you by the Reading Agency, the Reading Ahead programme builds reading confidence, skills and encourages everyone to read more. The programme is aimed at young people and adults who are less confident readers and those who want to improve their literacy and language skills or get back into reading. It is run in prisons, public libraries, colleges, adult community learning centres and workplaces across the UK.
This year the Reading Ahead annual programme can be delivered anytime from 4 July 2025 until 3 July 2026.
