In 2021 The National Literacy Trust with the support of the Author’s Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) launched the National Reading Champions Quiz. The Quiz is designed to celebrate keen readers aged 10-14 years and also the network of librarians and libraries that play an essential role in supporting them.

If you are looking for ways of promoting reading this a great way to engage some of your more able readers.

If you have students aged between 10 and 14 years who love to read and would relish the chance to compete, then enter one or two teams to represent your school. Questions test students' knowledge across a range of genres, stories and book knowledge.

In 2021 The National Literacy Trust held 18 online regional heats, with the winner of each heat going forward to the final, held on 24 June. This incredible event featured authors including Michael Rosen, Cressida Cowell, Anthony Horowitz, Charlie Higson, David Baddiel and Priscilla Mante popping in with good luck messages and to pose their own questions.

If you have keen readers in your school then do take part in the National Reading Champions Quiz 2022 and give them a chance to shine.
