flag Suffolk launches 2026 reading campaign to combat youth literacy decline with school programs, books, and community support.

flag Born & Read in Suffolk is a year-long campaign launched in 2026 to boost literacy, wellbeing, and employability by reigniting interest in reading and writing across the county. flag Supported by Sizewell C, Ipswich Town FC, and Suffolk Community Libraries, it features school programs, author events, storytelling sessions, and a books-for-schools token collect where schools can win £10,000 in new books. flag The initiative addresses declining reading habits, especially among youth, with only one in three children reading for pleasure. flag Research shows reading for enjoyment improves literacy, empathy, confidence, and learning, often surpassing socioeconomic factors. flag The campaign promotes all forms of reading and writing as tools for personal growth, community connection, and career readiness, while Sizewell C ties literacy to local job development in construction, engineering, and leadership.
