Reading makes a huge contribution to educational achievement. In a recent study it emerged that children who read books regularly at 10 and more than once a week at 16 gained higher results in all three tests (maths, vocabulary and spelling) at the end of secondary education.

Reading was found to be more important for children’s cognitive development at secondary school than the influence of their parents. (Source: Reading for pleasure )
