The Importance of Reading for Pleasure and Reading at Home

In 2026, a national spotlight is being put on reading and on the simplest way to help children enjoy it: connecting it to what they already love. From dinosaurs to dancing, from comics to cooking, passions make stories feel natural and fun.

We have two important pieces of information to support your child and promote reading for pleasure:

• The Importance of Reading for Pleasure and Reading at Home 2026
• World Book Day 2026 activity pack

Join Reddish Hall School in celebrating The National Year of Reading 2026 by encouraging and supporting reading at home. Reddish Hall will be delivering lots of activities throughout the year to support the NYOR with pupils being given books to bring home on World Book Day (5^th March 2026).
