    Brief

    The Irish Department of Education and Youth is requesting research services to conduct a rapid evidence assessment on reading for pleasure among children and young people in Ireland, with particular emphasis on boys and young men. The research should cover learners from early learning and care (ELC) through post-primary education, examining attitudes, engagement, and participation in reading for pleasure across all educational settings and key transition points. Qualified contractors should be prepared to synthesize existing evidence on factors influencing reading habits, barriers to engagement, and effective interventions to promote reading among this demographic. The review will inform departmental policies and initiatives aimed at increasing literacy engagement and proficiency.
