The First Minister’s Reading Challenge (FMRC) aims to build on the work already taking place in schools across Scotland to encourage children to read widely, explore a range of books and develop a love of reading. The main focus of the Challenge is to encourage reading for pleasure and support schools, libraries and communities to build reading cultures. The programme is delivered by Scottish Book Trust, funded by the Scottish Government.

FMRC believe that reading has the power to change lives and that developing a love of reading in childhood can have a huge impact on educational attainment and future wellbeing.

The First Minister’s Reading Challenge aims to help children and young people between the ages of 5 and 18 develop a love of reading. By supporting schools, libraries and communities across Scotland to develop reading cultures and give every child in Scotland the opportunity to experience the benefits – and the fun – of reading for pleasure.
