What is 100 Days of Reading?
100 Days of Reading is a joyful, no-pressure reading adventure for children aged 4–11. Every day, children explore stories, comics, magazines—or even cereal boxes—building a daily reading habit without any onerous log or signature requirements.
Why we started
We believe reading opens doors to imagination and connection. This programme was created to rebuild and celebrate reading habits after years of disruption. It invites families and teachers to share the journey together.
