Book Award season is in full swing. If you're struggling to keep up with all the winners, you're not alone! Here's our round-up of the children's books that have taken home prizes in the past few weeks 👉 bit.ly/45AEYk1 #CLiPPA2025 @CarnegieMedals #IndieBookAwards

Our research shows 6 in 10 parents and carers of young children wish they'd known earlier how important it is to read together. That's why we work with a range of Early Years practitioners and settings, supporting families to share stories from the earliest days.

Reading looks different for everyone—and that’s something to celebrate. We asked our team to share their honest reading confessions to redefine what being a reader means. Read the blog and share your #ReadingConfession with us: readingagency.org.uk/reading-confes…

Always worth sharing this

@GalwayMr Thank you so much. I have filled the form in again and will DM the details of the school

@smartfoxlouisa If you expressed an interest previously, we’ll have a record. We’ve been working extensively in the area for a number of years but more to do. It would be helpful to complete the survey linked in the OP if you haven’t previously. Thank you and do feel free to DM school details

No library in your primary school? We need to know; we’re here to help. Need enhancement (book stock; training) - we also want to know. Here to help.

Join us in celebrating #indiebookshops throughout June! @KateMallinder @CarolineleaLea @booksaremybag

@whatSFSaid I could not agree more. That’s my experience too. If the adults create the right environment, children love reading as much as ever.

People sometimes say kids don't read any more. But as a children's author who visits schools up & down the country every week, I can tell you that if you give kids access to books, help them find ones they want to read, and let them read for pleasure - THEY STILL LOVE READING!!!
