The Importance of Reading
The benefits of reading - from academic performance to mental well-being - are well documented. But how do we get children reading more? Luckily, we've thought about this a lot: Pageticker is the result of extensive research and development, and there's plenty of evidence that our approach works.

Why we Built Pageticker
-min_edited_edited.png)
Research shows a strong link between reading engagement and academic success, highlighting how important reading is for young minds. However, the 2024 National Literacy Trust survey revealed an alarming trend: reading enjoyment has dropped to just 35% of children - down from 43% the previous year, marking the lowest level ever recorded.
Pageticker was borne from the personal experience of two former teachers and parents to three (very different!) young readers. What started out as a digital reading diary has become a platform designed to promote a love of reading in children.
