The Ahlbergs' Legacy When your work makes people smile... When your work makes people say "Again!"... When your work leads to a love of words & language & books... When your work sparks creativity... When your work warms hearts, in classrooms and homes... It's a legacy of joy.

Our research, supported by @twinklresources, shows that children and young people's writing for pleasure continues to decline in 2025. When you enjoy writing, your writing, critical thinking, confidence, creativity and wellbeing benefit literacytrust.org.uk/writing… #NationalWritingDay
text reads: The number of children and young people writing for pleasure in the UK has halved over the past 15 years. In 2025, only 1 in 4 children and young people (aged 8-18) said they enjoy writing in their free time.
