Our research, supported by @twinklresources, shows that the reading for pleasure crisis persists.
When fewer than 1 in 3 children enjoy reading and daily reading habits decline - it’s time for urgent, collective action.

ALT Infographic by the National Literacy Trust showing two statistics about children's reading habits in 2025. Left side with dark blue background: Just 32.7% of children and young people aged 8 to 18 say they enjoy reading "very much" or "quite a lot" in 2025. Right side with light pink background: 'Only 18.7% of children and young people say they read something daily in their free time in 2025 – half the number reading daily 20 years ago.' Bottom includes the National Literacy Trust logo with the slogan Change your story and the hashtag Grow A Generation Of Readers.

Such a rewarding library period with one of our hub classes this morning using Story Deck to discuss favourite genres and emotional responses. Topics covered: Pride Month, happy dogs, explosions, feeling sad, asking for help, and calm forests 🌳

🗺️ Intrepid explorers from our Senior Hub were brave enough to tackle the Genre Jungle Library Quest today 🧭
This has been such a valuable experience for us at Forfar Academy. The pupils working on the project have loved every second and learnt so much. We’re really looking forward to the workshop! 💻

Our April Reader of the Month is a Special Edition! 🥳 It was awarded to Logan for his outstanding contribution to running Craft Club with such confidence & all of the work he puts in (including researching different crafts!) to make sure all participants can take part 🧶
Our March Reader of the Month is Kayla! 🎉 Kayla is a very keen reader but was stuck in a reading slump so she visited the library to get book recommendations. She borrowed Radio Silence by @AliceOseman & read it over 2days! Well done, Kayla! 👏🏼🎊
