Go All In for reading reading in 2026 with the National Year of Reading and Purple Mash. Find practical classroom ideas, key dates and events, and how Purple Mash supports reading in primary schools.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth. This will focus on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody bag!
