Booked Up is a national programme that aims to give a free book to every child starting secondary school in England.
Booked Up’s goal is to support and encourage reading for pleasure and independent choice. Year 7 pupils choose their free book from a list of specially selected titles.

Booked Up is delivered through secondary schools. Every secondary school is offered a free sample set of the Booked Up books, as well as supporting materials to enable each Year 7 pupil to choose the book that is right for them.
Now entering its fourth year, Booked Up has distributed almost 2 millions books to children across England.
Booked Up is run by Booktrust, and continues the reading journey started by the national Bookstart and Booktime programmes, which aim to provide free books to every baby and reception pupil in the UK.
Booked Up is funded by the Department for Education, and generously supported by children’s book publishers.
