National Family Reading Month

NATIONAL FAMILY READING MONTH is an initiative that represents the heart of our business – literacy is the key to learning and achievement. We believe that all children, with the help of their families and reading role models, can benefit from a lifelong love of reading.

In its 29th year, NFRM encourages families to read together regularly to develop strong reading habits.

May is the month for readers. Bring your family together and join us for the 31-Day Challenge – to read together for at least 10 minutes every day to create positive, long-lasting reading habits and lifelong readers!

This year’s challenge will be supported by our Ambassador, Mr Luke, illustrator Chris Kennett and more, who will take the challenge and READ MORE IN MAY.

NFRM will launch on Thursday, May 1st, 2025, at 11AM AEST and 1PM NZST. It will be live-streamed across Australia and New Zealand via Facebook and YouTube.

Mr Luke will read his book Guess What We Are Doing Today? together with illustrator Chris Kennett and kick off the 31-Day Challenge, as we READ EVERY DAY! READ MORE IN MAY!
