Bookshow at Home
Faced with this latest lockdown and many children learning from home again, we have decided to bring back our At Home newsletter. Each week we will introduce you to an author or illustrator, give you a video reading of the book and some fun and creative activities for children to do in class or at home. We hope this will work well for teachers looking for excellent books to share online with their children and also for parents who are looking for new activities at a time when there are no after school clubs and the evenings are dark! We hope these newsletters encourage children’s love of reading.
