A Little, Aloud for Children Pack-ed into Schools

Some brilliant news in about A Little, Aloud for Children this World Book Day...

We're absolutely delighted to hear that the anthology has been included in this year's BookTrust School Library Pack. The School Library Pack is a reading for pleasure programme available to secondary schools and education providers for Year 7 students throughout England, encouraging students to try out new authors and books that they might not have considered reading before, take part in activities around their reading and support a culture of more frequent reading for pleasure within schools.

The pack contains over 40 specially chosen books, sorted into the categories of Reluctant Reader, Future Classics and Short Story anthologies, to which A Little, Aloud for Children sits alongside titles from Malorie Blackman and David Almond.

Last year 4,700 secondary schools across England received the pack, with wider reading being a huge success amongst both staff and students. Registration for the 2015-16 School Library Pack has now closed, and the packs will be delivered to schools by the end of March. Participating schools can visit the BookTrust website to download a range of supporting resources.

It's brilliant to know that even more young people will be able to access all of the great selections in A Little, Aloud for Children whilst in school - and hopefully they'll get reading even more as a result!

The book can be ordered on The Reader's website, and we can assure you that it's a treat.
