What Kids Are Reading - Secondary

The 2024 What (and How) Kids are Reading report celebrates the 16th edition of this annual spotlight on the reading choices, habits, and attitudes of children of all ages.

Accelerated Reader was used in more than 6,400 schools in the UK and the Republic of Ireland by more than 1.2 million pupils. Collectively more than 26 million books were read (4% less than last year), and 21% of these were in Secondary Schools. The Report not only looks at reading behaviours of children of all ages and abilities, but also what they’re enjoying – as every student that took part in the study voted on their favourites.
