Book Club: The Reading Edit
To celebrate the National Year of Reading, we have created A FREE monthly digital magazine, perfect for sharing with parents and fellow teachers to support reading for pleasure in school and at home.
Each month, our reading experts highlight standout books from your Book Club and bring them to life with ready-to-use activities, author videos, extracts and School Lives events – perfect for engaging pupils and supporting reading for pleasure in the classroom and at home. And to make planning even easier, it’s all been collated into a free, interactive digital magazine, ready for you to browse and use whenever you need it.
The latest issue features our top graphic novel and manga picks, along with fun activities, links to free Book Club virtual events, and one exciting feature article all about why graphic novels are great to read – written especially for children. There’s also an exclusive Q&A with David Saylor (SVP of Graphix & Creative), plus a chance for pupils to WIN our fantastic Graphic Novel Box for your class!
