Our Mission
Our aim is to nurture a culture of reading across schools by introducing children to beautiful books, leaving them motivated to read more.

Our Goals
We set out to create engaging, ready-to-use whole class reading resources based on hand-selected texts of high quality.
We work directly with publishers to ensure our resources are made using the highest-quality children’s literature on the market. Every text is chosen for its exciting prose, important themes and suitability for the 21st century classroom.
We hope that your classes enjoy these lessons as much as ours do!

Our lessons introduce children to a high-quality books by dipping in to a chapter or two through whole class teaching. Each book-based pack contains 1-4 lessons.
Not only will each lesson give your classes a great opportunity to collaborate and apply their reading skills, but they will increase pleasure for reading too.
Each lesson has a downloadable PowerPoint presentation and printable PDF activities. Some of the text extracts are included.
Reading Skills
Our lessons teach reading skills explicitly to support children in interrogating a text confidently.
We have broken down the reading skills detailed in the National Curriculum into 14 child-friendly areas of mastery and built our resources around them.
Check out our reading information posters to further support children with strategies, examples and sentence starters.
