World Book Day 2020

Happy World Book day!!

I LOVE world book day - it supports everything I believe in and am thrilled I get to share my love of books and reading with the children at school as well. We're doing PJ's to school instead of dressing as a character this year.

The theme is Share a Million Stories.

Look out for your voucher to get a free World Book Day book or £1 off another book!

For more info head to the official website!

Why it's important:

Research has shown that reading for pleasure has a huge impact on how successful children become. Unfortunately reading for pleasure is in decline (this breaks my heart) and many children in the UK do not own a book and the number of children being read to is in huge decline! As a teacher I see the impact on children. It ranges from impact on health, play and imagination to speaking and listening. So let's read people!

One of my favourite things about World Book Day is seeing kids getting so enthusiastic about reading. You'll probably be able to tell from my many Comic Con & YALC posts that I love any excuse to dress up as my favourite characters from film, TV and books, so you won't be surprised to hear that I love seeing all the fab World Book Day costumes that kids, teachers and kidults like myself wear on the day.

Here's my attempt at Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter last year:

If you want to join in the fun and share any pics then message, tweet or email me as per.

Enjoy the day,
