Our Discovery Programme gives 300 primary schools nationwide the books and creative resources they need to put on three book gifting events over the course of the year. By the end of the summer term every child will have had the chance to choose and take home six books of their own.
Each term your books will arrive with beautiful printed resources to enable you to put on a fun and inclusive gifting event where children can browse and choose books to take home and keep.
Each gifting event works as a standalone, but it may also be worth thinking in advance about how you can dovetail your events with that term’s wider literacy activities and events.
