Reading for pleasure has many benefits – it helps children develop empathy, builds connections with others, boosts wellbeing, and even improves academic success. Stories allow young readers to step into different worlds, see life from other perspectives, and recognise both the similarities and differences that make us unique.

However, fewer children are choosing to read for fun.
