Working with families
BookTrust's work focuses heavily on family reading. Each year we carry out extensive research to learn how best to help families to engage in the benefits of reading.
In fact, our research shows that 53% of parents and carers of primary-age children say reading is not a big part of family life. We want to help you change that, so read on to find a video about the magic of reading that you can share with families, along with other tools and resources.
Spread the word with our poster and social media cards!
This year, our Great Books Guide is being sent to primary schools along with a fun poster highlighting the amazing benefits of reading.
If you'd like to spread the word about all the incredible things books can do, you can download an additional copy of the poster plus our free social media cards! You'll find a landscape version, portrait version and square version for you to use.
Our video on reading with children has been specially developed for you to share with your school community.
Feel free to include it in your school newsletter, embed it on your website, or use it in any other way you think would be useful to you and your families.
You can embed the video by hovering over the video, clicking on the title or the YouTube logo to open it in YouTube, clicking on the 'Share' button, choosing 'Embed', and copying and pasting the code onto your school website. You may need the help of your IT staff to do this.
Alternatively, you can download the video files here.
