As reported in ALCS News, new research from the National Literacy Trust (NLT) shows that 2 out of 3 children and young people don’t enjoy reading in their free time, the lowest level on record. This crisis of reading hits the most disadvantaged communities hardest. In areas of high poverty, 1 in 8 children don’t even have a single book at home. A staggering 39% of children eligible for free school meals are unable to read effectively. You can support the Trust (Christmas 2024) here.
