National Year of Reading

Posted on August 3, 2026

The National Year of Reading launched in January and is a campaign to address the steep decline in reading amongst children, young people and adults. A Department for Education initiative, in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust, it invites people to ‘Go All In’ – if you’re into it, read into it and rediscover the joy and power of reading.

With the last stretch of Summer before us and the longer evenings approaching, what better time to add to your reading lists and ‘Go All In’. We believe the compact reads in our In the Moment collection tick all the boxes for this campaign. They are immersive, enjoyable and perfect to lose yourself in.
