The Teenage Reading Network was established in 2023. This network comprises psychology and English academics and a range of non-academics and provides capacity for working across the education community and with young people in all stages of the research process.

Following on from this, one of the priorities that were identified by this network is the need to include teenagers and find out from them directly why aren’t they reading and how can we get them to read more. Courtney Hooton was awarded a PhD Public Engagement Bursary from the Social Science Impact Accelerator to do just that. Click here to find out more about this project.
