What an amazing week talking about the PLEASURE and the POWER of reading in lots of great schools this week! We talked about books, shared books, recommended books – it was truly inspiring as an author to help students understand all the many things that reading can do for them!
At the creative writing workshops during the week pupils learnt how to structure stories and had so much fun writing their own stories in different genres and even reading them out to the class. Their imaginations and creativity led their pens across the page. It was wonderful to see so many budding writers!
Huge thank you to all the wonderful school librarians, the English departments, the staff and the students for making each day special.
Thank you Northwood School, St John’s Senior School, St. Michael’s Grammar School, and Bower Park Academy!
Can’t wait until World Book Week 2026! It’s only a shame that every week can’t be World Book Week!
