National Year of Reading 2026

 ๐Ÿ“šNational year of Reading ๐Ÿ“š

What is it?

In January the Department of Education announced that 2026 will be the National year of Reading, As a school we are taking part in this throughout 2026 and the theme for the year is 'Go all in'. It is a year to celebrate all different stories, authors and all things book related.


What does it mean for us? 

There will be a variety of book/story related events that happen in school throughout the year, from World Book day, themed days, story writing competions, Manga drawing in Art and lots of other cross- curricular activities. 


Why you should care?

If you are already a reader this is an exciting year to enjoy lots of new stories and continue to develop a love for stories.  If you don't like reading that is okay, but this year is a chance to try a variety of genres of new stories as well as experience different ways of hearing/telling them.
