National Literacy Week: Celebrating the Joy of Reading
Each November, communities across the nation unite to celebrate National Literacy Week. This special week is dedicated to highlighting the critical importance of reading and education in our society. For 2024, the National Literacy Trust has chosen the inspiring theme “Reading Changes Lives”, underscoring the transformative impact that reading can have on individuals and communities.
Reading is far more than a simple pastime—it is a gateway to knowledge, opportunity, and empowerment. Yet, literacy challenges persist. According to the National Literacy Trust, approximately 15% of adults in England and 25% in Northern Ireland struggle with basic literacy skills. These figures reveal a pressing social issue, as literacy forms the foundation for success in education, employment, health, and overall well-being.
