Abstract	The National Literacy Trust is a national charity dedicated to raising literacy levels in the UK. Their research and analysis make them the leading authority on literacy. They run projects in the poorest communities, campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and parents, and support schools. RM Books is a market-leading ebooks platform designed specifically for schools. In early 2014, RM Books provided funding to allow a study of the impact of ebooks on pupils' reading skills and motivation over the academic year September 2014 to July 2015. Prior to the study, the National Literacy Trust conducted a rapid literature review to explore some of the research available on the role of technology in the literacy lives of young people. This final report outlines findings about the impact of access to an ebooks platform on pupils' reading motivation and skills over the academic year 2014/15. Schools from across the UK provided attitudinal and attainment data before and after running an ebooks project with a group of pupils, and a selection of practitioners and pupils also took part in interviews and focus groups to allow the exploration of initial findings in more depth.
