About What Kids Are Reading

The ‘What Kids Are Reading Report 2025’, exclusively from Renaissance, features insights from over 6,700 schools and 1,200,000 students in the UK and Ireland using Renaissance Star Reading and Accelerated Reader data, including:

  • The Top 100 most-read and most popular titles
  • Student attitudes towards reading from the National Literacy Trust
  • Contributions from leading authors and academics

Now in its 17th year, this report remains the country’s most in-depth analysis of the books actually read and enjoyed by primary and secondary-age children over the entire school year.

Plus, you can also opt in to register for Zoom access to a special event on Thursday, 10th July, where we’ll also announce the winners of the 2025 Quiz Writers’ Choice Awards!
