What’s included?
For just £3.65 per pupil, you’ll receive all the tools and resources you need to successfully deliver the programme and create engaging sessions:
The pack includes including two copies of each book (32 copies in total), bookmarks, and a supportive programme guide.
In September, purchasing schools will have access to the coordinator area featuring a wide range of digital and printable resources to engage your pupils and to help you design and deliver your sessions.
In the autumn term, your pupils will get to explore all 16 Bookbuzz Primary titles (allowing them to read a few pages alone, with friends or with a teacher, or even skip to the last page!) before choosing their favourite to keep.
From fascinating reads for curious minds to fast-paced page turners and graphic novels to fact books, there’s something for everyone, whatever their interest or reading level.
Some of the Bookbuzz Primary books are also available in large print or braille. Coordinators can order these specially printed books with the rest of their Bookbuzz Primary order.
We work closely with the authors to give you and your pupils opportunities to hear directly from them as part of the Bookbuzz Primary offer. As well as a video resource for the children that will be available via our coordinator area, we’ll host an engaging webinar for teachers in the summer and offer all purchasing schools the chance to win an exciting author visit.
