Research by Professor Teresa Cremin at The Open University identified What on Earth! Magazine as a powerful intervention for turning reluctant readers into confident readers. Engaging pupils who do not think of themselves as 'book readers', it can help children develop vital information processing skills and unlock powerful group conversations.

"The number of pupils who said they didn’t often talk with peers about reading decreased substantially from 60% to 36%, indicating a shift toward more regular peer engagement."

Open University study into impact of What on Earth! Magazine

"What on Earth! Magazine is the perfect antidote to tablets and TV. My kids sit down with it for hours – usually with me peering over their shoulders!”
