Beyond Literacy:

What Children Tell Us About Reading and Wellbeing

Findings from the Dymocks Children’s Charities Book Bank Social Impact Study 

About the Webinar  

Join Dymocks Children’s Charities for a special webinar exploring the findings of our first Book Bank Social Impact Study and what children tell us about reading, wellbeing and book ownership.

Drawing on the perspectives of Year 3 and Year 6 students, the research offers new insights into how children experience reading, what motivates them to engage with books, and the relationship between reading, hope and life satisfaction.

Hear from the research team, Dymocks Children’s Charities and participating schools as they discuss the study’s findings, the importance of listening to children’s perspectives, and how these insights will help strengthen the Book Bank program and inform future research.
