The Reading Agency is a UK charity that inspires social and personal change through the proven power of reading. We work with individuals of all ages, communities and trusted partners to share the transformative benefits of reading for happy, healthy and thriving lives. We want to get more people fired up about reading because everything changes when you read.
The Summer Reading Challenge theme for 2025 is Story Garden – Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors. This theme aims to inspire children to tap into a world of imagination through reading, exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature. The list of books selected by children’s reading experts includes popular options for all reading levels by leading authors and illustrators.
