We are delighted that Nick Sharratt is The Children’s Literacy Charity’s ambassador for the National Year of Reading 2026. Nick has written many beloved picture books, and we know that his playful creativity and colourful characters will be invaluable in encouraging a lifelong love of reading among the children we support.
In this video he talks about our plans for the National Year of Reading and reads aloud from his book Caveman Dave.

While our charity’s focus is on specialist tuition across all the important literacy skills, reading engagement and the joy of stories are central to everything that we do and we are delighted to be one of the supporting partners of the National Year of Reading 2026, a Department for Education campaign delivered by the National Literacy Trust.
We have an exciting programme planned over the next 12 months. Each month an Author of the Month will be visiting our partner schools, taking part in assemblies and making videos for the children to watch. With reading engagement declining every year, we will be working together with brilliant authors to encourage children to see reading as a relevant, modern and social activity, and spark the magic of stories in their lives.
