🎉 We’re delighted to announce that Twinkl Phonics has been shortlisted for the TeachCo Teach Early Years Awards 2026 in the Full Programmes category!

Over the past year, we’ve continued to evolve Twinkl Phonics beyond the teaching programme, with enhanced professional development, assessment and implementation support.

That means giving educators the tools to make teaching, assessment and implementation work together across their school – while helping children develop a true love of reading.

A huge good luck to all the nominees and shortlisted programmes! 🤞

Is a dedicated reading space enough to build a lifelong habit?

The latest data shows a troubling trend: reading culture in UK schools is in decline, even though 81.6% of schools have dedicated reading spaces.

Physical spaces are a fantastic start, but cultivating a genuine, lasting love for reading requires deeper insight, strategic engagement and collective action.

To help educators and school leaders turn the tide, our National English Lead, Nicola Romaine, has authored an in-depth whitepaper examining the evidence and exploring actionable ways we can reshape the future of reading culture together.
