Eason Ltd

Today, we’re proud to share new national research commissioned by Eason and conducted by Amárach Research, among 500 parents of primary school children in Ireland, exploring how reading fits into family life. Reading is thriving in Irish homes:  80% of families identify as moderate or avid readers, and 92% of parents say they’re readers. The research also highlights what helps families keep reading on track: simple evening/bedtime routines and letting children choose their own books (7 in 10  parents say this keeps them engaged). With many parents juggling busy schedules, everyday distractions (41%) and time pressures (28%) and nearly 3 in 10 children spending 2+ hours on screens on a typical school day - those small, consistent reading moments can make a real difference. To support families, we’re launching our Children’s Reading Hub with age-based recommendations, interest-led booklists and practical tips.
