We are focussing on reading for pleasure for this year's World Book Day. Please take time to go through the various resources I've uploaded and choose some activities for your class. We've chosen to dress up in pyjamas, rather than as book characters, to support the message of reading as a way to relax and promote well-being. Please feel free to share your own good ideas/resources here as well.

Thanks,

Sian

Can children share a book using the laptops? Or maybe whole class?

A huge selection of audio books (some animated) that we can use across the curriculum as well as promoting for book week...

Teachers and pupils, join our free online 30-minute quiz!

Join us for our third World Book Day Premier League Takeover quiz!

The 30-minute quiz* will feature two rounds of questions (one football-themed, one reading-themed) pitched by your footballing heroes and our writer pals.

Hosted by a top presenter, your school has the chance to participate live, win prizes and generally have a ball.

Register to take part by completing our form below. Joining instructions will be sent out automatically (check your spam box!).

Free supporting resources can be found on the National Literacy Trust World Book Day page and the challenge resources are now live on the Premier League Primary Stars website
Who should attend?
Webinars are open to all teachers based in primary or secondary schools, public or community libraries across the UK and Club Community Organisations working in schools. The webinar is ideal to share with pupils aged 8 to 12 (Years 4, 5, 6 and 7, P5, P6, P7 and S1). Non-footy fans will also enjoy!

The session will:

Promote reading to pupils in a fun and interactive way

Engage your pupils in reading activities

Showcase reading role models - giving pupils 'permission' to read

Give your class the chance to ask for shout-outs from the presenters

Give you the chance to win great prizes for you and your class

We hope the quiz will have a little bit of something for everyone and all your pupils in these year groups should be able to take part. They do not need to be super-confident, or super-experienced, readers, or even big footy fans.

You will be able to interact with the presenters through the chat function, but you will not be able to chat, or see the chat from other schools. Unless asked by the National Literacy Trust within the event as part of the quiz, schools will not be able to turn their camera or microphone on.

This event will take place as a Zoom Webinar and, although the best way to take part is live, it will remain on the National Literacy Trust's Words for Life website as a resource video after the event.

FAQ:

1. Can I share the access code? Yes you can. When you register, please indicate the total number of pupils attending across classes.

2. What if the event is full and I can't get in? We do have a finite number of spaces for the event. If you can't get in, you can still stream the event live on the National Literacy Trust YouTube channel: youtube.com/LiteracyTrust.

3. What if I have technical issues? If you can't get in, you can still stream the event live on the National Literacy Trust YouTube channel: youtube.com/LiteracyTrust.

4. Will there be a recording of the event? Yes. A recording will be posted on our Words for Life website week commencing 11 March 2024.

If you have any other queries please email sport@literacytrust.org.uk with 'WBD24 query' in the subject heading.

*Well, occasionally these things dribble over the line by a few minutes...!

World Book Day 2024: The Great Big Footy & Booky Quiz | National Literacy Trust

Inspire and energise a reading for pleasure culture in your school this World Book Day with our free quiz featuring pro-footballers and authors.

# data[].attributes.body
Complete this 1:1 or in small groups. You may not survey the whole class but getting a good 'snap shot' would be helpful for the school.

Google Forms - create and analyze surveys, for free.

Children who are able, should complete this independently, after you have discussed the questions as a class. Please consider using the KS1 version for SEN children or give additional support to complete this version. It isn't essential that all children do this but a good sample (range of abilities) will give us useful information to consider as a school.

# data[].attributes.body
Please encourage as many children to take part in this as possible. For those who want to, but you know it may not happen at home, consider unusual reading places in school: Kitchen, Forest School area, Mr Julian's Office?!

I sure that the kids will also really love seeing their teachers take part in the challenge ....

Please look at the photos handed in so far and use these to prompt the others. Please award children house points if they take part -5 or 10? What ever you feel is appropriate.

I'll share some in assembly but you will have more time to look at the pictures in class.

You could choose a book to really focus on for the two days - produce a range of creative responses. There are so many lovely new books in the library. Linked to topic or stand alone.

Shared reading across classes?

Choose a class to visit for the end of day story. This may be easiest amongst key stages. There are some excellent picture books for older children (whole shelf - ask if unsure).

Visit one of the Thetford shops that stock World Book Day books: WHSmith's, The Works, Sainsbury's.

Take part in the live lesson or quiz.

Enter the book token competition.

Talk about reading for pleasure and well being - complete surveys.

Complete the extreme reading challenge in school.

We have lots of lovely new books in the library that can link with the suggested themes. We have a copy of The Rapping Princess and Welcome to our world. I can happily find you some nature exploration and construction texts at the appropriate age range.

Books are a key part of children's play. This Early Years list identifies books for each of the key areas in a nursery classroom. These are: construction (building/how things work), outdoors (including bugs etc.), being me (and pretending to be other people!), creative (arts and crafts/self expression) and vehicles and motion. These books are suggestions which we hope will encourage children to see reading as part of their play.

With thanks to East Street Early Years who have helped us collate the list.

Explore our Early Years list on our bookshop.org store. World Book Day is an affiliate of bookshop.org and 10% of purchases made through our shop contribute to World Book Day's charitable work.
