Abstract: National Literacy Trust Hubs are place-based approaches serving 20 communities across the United Kingdom where patterns of intergenerational poverty and low literacy are impacting people's lives. Fourteen of these areas are part of Connecting Stories, an Arts Council England-funded programme. The work operates at two levels--area-wide and a focus on a few of the most deprived wards in each Hub, the 'high-priority wards.' This report explores literacy-engagement levels in children and young people taking part in National Literacy Trust's work in communities facing high economic disadvantages. The data was gathered through the Annual Literacy Survey of children and young people, with a sample of 60,773 8- to 16-year-olds across England. The survey asks about reading and writing enjoyment, frequency, attitudes and motivations, with responses linked to age, gender and socioeconomic background, as well as school type, location and the Hubs' working relationship. Responses from children and young people in high-priority wards show differences in reading engagement compared with those in wider Hub areas and nationally. The findings suggest that while the national picture of reading enjoyment is of great concern, levels of reading enjoyment both at school and in free time are either falling less dramatically than the national picture in our high-priority areas or have even increased over the last year.
