World Book Day 2025 Social Media Toolkit
Join in with us on social media on World Book Day to talk about the importance of helping children form a life-long habit of reading for pleasure!
Chapter One is celebrating with World Book Day®️ - the reading for fun charity - on Thursday 6 March 2025 to celebrate the transformative power of reading for pleasure. The theme is Read Your Way and celebrates how everyone's reading journey is unique. Together, we're championing two key messages:
- Every child deserves both the choice and chance to enjoy reading
- There's no single 'right way' to read - every journey is valid
Join the conversation

How do you #ReadYourWay?"
Need some inspiration? Here’s a reading journey created by one of the Chapter One team, Rachel Merrall (Programme Manager - London):
Here are some books/materials I read that changed my life:
- Where the Wild Things Are and Goodnight Moon; books I had read to me as a child then read to my own children!
- Smash Hits and Seventeen magazines; reading with friends and putting the posters up in my room!
- Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl books; set me up with a love of stories and adventures!
- Sweet Valley High; Teen years gossiping on the bus to school and trading books to read the whole series!
- The Book Thief, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Eyre Affair; just a few of my favourite adult reads - it was very hard to choose just a few!
How do you #ReadYourWay?"
