Book Now to avoid disappointment!

March 6th 2025

World Book Day wants to change lives through a love of books and reading.

World Book Day wants to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life changes this brings them.

With the offer of a Free Friday, we are helping to support this principle.

World Book Day defines Reading for Pleasure as:

Feeling sense of satisfaction or pleasure by engaging with chosen reading material in their free time.

We want to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life chances this brings them.

The evidence base shows there are 6 building elements which support a child to read for pleasure:

  1. Being read to regularly
  2. Having books at home and at school
  3. Having a choice in what to read
  4. Finding time to read
  5. Having trusted help to find a book
  6. Making reading FUN!

 

These 6 elements shape and guide everything World Book Day does.

Please do use our World Book Day resources below.  For each resource there is a unit of work, lesson presentation and resources.
