This week at Leamington
Primary school we have been taking part in Children's
Book Week. We have been focusing on different
reading activities, looking at our favourite authors
and designing new front covers for those books.
What is
Children's Book Week?
Children’s Book
Week is a celebration of reading for pleasure
for children of primary school age. Schools, libraries
and bookshops all over the UK hold events and
activities aimed at encouraging children to view
reading as a source of pleasure, explore libraries
and bookshops and even start writing themselves.
Why celebrate
Children’s Book Week?
The aim of Children’s
Book Week is to celebrate reading for pleasure.
Designating a special day or week for book-related
activities can help children to see reading as
pleasurable and fun, stimulating them to discover
new books, extend their reading choices, discuss
and share books, explore libraries and bookshops,
and do their own creative writing.
