Become a Grand Master of reading with Read Like A Ninja!

Filled with tools, tips and challenges to supercharge reading, we've got five copies of Read Like A Ninja to give away to primary schools.

From Andrew Jennings, the bestselling author Vocabulary Ninja, Read Like a Ninja is a one-stop-shop to help children become Grand Masters of their own reading. This is an essential toolkit of fun exercises and resources to support primary school children and get them reading like ninjas!

While most focus on just phonics, we know there is much more that goes into making children confident and independent readers. Read Like a Ninja offers step-by-step support for that tricky transition from phonics to fluency to independent reading – and even reading for fun!

This book is brimming over with fun activities in all the key areas of reading including phonics, comprehension, fluency, skimming and scanning, retrieval and prediction. It also includes exercises and short texts aimed at each Lexile level, to help your child progress in line with the National Curriculum. Go straight to the 'Parent Zone' for tips and tricks on supporting your child's reading and where to find books at their level as they improve. This pocket-sized book is a real treasure trove of resources, examples and tools – everything you need to get children to become Grand Masters of their own reading.

For the chance to win one of five copies simply answer the question below and leave your details by the closing date of 11pm on Friday 3 May. Please note that this competition is open to primary schools only.
