Learn with Ava and Chip®: Summer Reading Fun on Tech Topics

As the National Year of Reading 2026 approaches, families across the UK are being encouraged to read more with their children, and we couldn’t agree more! At Ava and Chip®, we believe reading for pleasure is one of the best ways to build curiosity and confidence in children. But what if those stories could also teach kids about the digital world they’re growing up in?

That’s exactly where the Ava and Chip® book series comes in.

Our stories bring everyday technology to life through exciting adventures, relatable characters and gentle learning moments, making them ideal kids books on technology for ages 7 – 11. From smart speakers and QR codes to virtual reality and AI, we cover tech topics in a fun and approachable way.

What Makes Ava and Chip® Books Special?

Children naturally ask questions about the world around them: “How does this work?”, “What happens if…?”, “Why does that thing talk back to me?”. Our books are designed to help answer these questions through storytelling.

Each Ava and Chip story:

• Centres on real-world technology children are likely to encounter
• Is built around a playful plotline and sibling teamwork
• Features tech explainers  to support conversations
• Encourages inclusive, everyday representation of children in tech

So whether your child already loves gadgets or is just beginning to explore how things work, these books are the perfect entry point for tech-themed literacy.
