According to the Reading Agency's latest research, which was published on 5th November and explores children and young people's reading for pleasure and daily reading habits, 2 in 3 children and young people don’t enjoy reading. The research report, which is taken from the results of the RA's 2024 annual literacy survey of over 76,000 UK children and young people, records the worst levels in nearly 20 years.
Children and young people’s enjoyment of reading is at crisis point, falling drastically in the last year alone.
