The World Book Day Book Club provides monthly book recommendations and free supporting resources to help teachers run a regular book club in their primary school. The book recommendations alternate between titles that are broadly suitable for UKS2 and those for LKS2.
For each World Book Day Book Club title, teachers can access a set of free resources that include:
- Introductory videos with the author.
- A free online extract of the book.
- A set of Book Club questions to help get the discussion started.
- Supporting activities, such as a snack recipe.
- An online review form that allows teachers to register pupils’ reviews and comments about the book.
Cost: Free, but copies of the recommended titles for reading would need to be bought separately.
