An infographic showing the generational cycles of reading. In the middle are the words "Successive generations enjoy the benefits of reading." This is surrounded by a circle of interlinked arrows reading "Adults enjoy reading", "Families read together", "Children enjoy reading", and "Children develop a reading habit"
Shared reading has lifelong benefits.
But our research shows that children whose parents or carers like reading themselves are more likely to develop a love of reading.
That's why it's so important we support families to share stories together:
