We have had some incredible results from one of our promotional campaigns for one of our all time favourite books at lovereading4kids, with nearly 20,000 clicks to the book page so far! Adding an opening extract to a book page really helps to showcase the books, and gives the readers an insight to help them with their book purchasing choices. We love working on these campaigns and delivering such great results for our publishing partners. Thanks to Puffin for your continued support and sharing this magical book with our 150,000 lovereading4kids subscribers.

The National Literacy Trust's Annual Literacy Survey is published today - and it's a heartbreaking read. 2024 stands out for all the wrong reasons when it comes to children and young people’s reading: - Only 1 in 3 children and young people said that they enjoyed reading in their free time. - Only 1 in 5 said that they read something daily in their free time. This year's survey highlights that just 1 in 3 (34.6%) children and young people aged 8 to 18 said that they enjoyed reading in their free time. This is by far the lowest level of reading enjoyment recorded since the Literacy Trust began measuring this metric in 2005. Read more about the survey here: https://l8r.it/h3we

We will see you there!
