Abstract | The authors conducted their latest National Literacy Trust Annual Literacy Survey between January and mid-March 2020. This Annual Literacy Survey was their most popular to date, with 58,346 children and young people aged 9 to 18 from 315 UK schools participating. This year they also asked a few questions to explore the extent to which children and young people see themselves represented in what they read or hear and what is important to them in terms of diversity. These questions were designed to see to what extent they feel it is important that story and information books include characters of people from lots of different backgrounds and whether they find it difficult to find books with characters or people who look like them. Among the key findings are: (1) 32.7% of children and young people aged 9 to 18 say that they don't see themselves in what they read, and 39.8% would like more books with characters who are similar to them; (2) More children and young people from ethnic minority backgrounds than White backgrounds say that they don't see themselves in what they read (40% vs. 30.5%); (3) More children and young people who receive free school meals compared with those who don't say that they don't see themselves in what they read (37.3% vs. 31.9%); and (4) Twice as many children aged 9 to 11 compared with their peers aged 14+ say that they don't see themselves in what they read.
