National Literacy Trust@Literacy_Trust11 Jun 2025
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. Let's #GrowAGenerationOfReaders: literacytrust.org.uk/reading…
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.

Thank you to our partners who joined us at Forfar Academy to hear our S2 students present their science projects on renewable energy. The pupils did a fantastic job of telling the experts their plans for how they might implement renewable energy in Forfar. Well done!
