National Year of Reading
Our 2025 teacher survey found 100% of respondents agree that Wimbledon BookFest events motivate children to read for pleasure.
2026 is the National Year of Reading, an initiative to encourage everyone to Go All In – finding new ways into reading through what we already love.
MC Grammar is a National Year of Reading Ambassador, who uses rap to bring books to life and make reading accessible for all children.
“Thank you for all the great work you do in promoting reading and writing. The pupils and staff always get so much from these enrichment events.”
“The genuine response from the children all reading their books after the event is astounding.”
Bring Home a Book!
Our 2025 teacher survey found 35% of respondents say their students are unlikely to own a book at home.
In addition to an interactive and fun-filled event with MC Grammar, every student will receive a copy of MC Grammar’s latest book, Adventures of Rap Kid 2: The G.O.A.T
Explore the great wordsmiths of history from Cleopatra to Shakespeare, full of illustrations, fun facts and adventure.
