Schools and Nurseries

Welcome to our schools and nurseries hub. We’ve put ideas for celebrating World Book Day as well as resources for supporting reading for pleasure all year round in one handy place to help you find everything you need.

To find out more about 2022’s fantastic selection of brand new and exclusive £1/€1.50 books click here. We’ve also put together a handy guide to explain how the £1/€1.50 book tokens work and how you can support children to choose a book of their own from 2022’s selection. For teachers in Ireland, find everything you need to know here.

Our approach incorporates six elements which evidence shows support a child to read for pleasure:

• Being read to regularly
• Access to books at home
• The ability for children to choose what they want to read
• Having trusted adults and peers sharing and recommending books
• The reading experience being enjoyable
• Designated time to read

These 6 elements shape and guide what World Book Day does and all our resources support one of these elements. Explore the sections below to find ideas for your children.
