A motivational message for parents of small children: Read them to sleep. Wake up their world.
A motivational message for young readers: If you're into it, read into it.
A motivational message for older readers: Sink your teeth into a horror.
Go all in for the National Year of Reading 2026.
Love these messages, currently flooding every school in the UK for the National Year of Reading.
And the message is: anything goes. Read what you like. There's a book out there for you.
Read who you are.
