So proud to be part of @Literacy_Trust on such a landmark day. While I couldn’t be at the Conference, it’s inspiring to see so many educators coming together to drive change for young people’s literacy. Here’s to the National Year of Reading 2026! #NYR2026 #LiteracyMatters

[National Literacy Trust @Literacy_Trust]

On the day that the National Year of Reading 2026 launched, our Secondary Conference brought educators from across the country together to explore next steps for improving secondary school literacy.

Thank you to all teachers, speakers and exhibitors who joined us.
