Raising Readers About Us

ABOUT RAISING READERS

Raising Readers is Hachette’s urgent and long-term campaign to raise awareness of the decline in number of children reading for fun and encouraging everyone to make reading for enjoyment part of children’s daily lives. 

Making the most of authors’ connection with their readers, letters from authors writing for adults will be printed at the back of their Hachette books, sharing the importance of encouraging a child’s lifelong love of reading. 

This campaign aims to raise awareness that reading for fun is the single biggest predictor of a child’s future success. It impacts academic results, mental health, wealth, communication skills and ambition.  

Let’s work together to encourage the kids in our lives to become lifelong readers by sharing the joy of reading for fun, thereby contributing to happiness, health, and success for generations to come.
