Schools can now register for the 2017 Bookbuzz programme, which offers schools a choice of heavily subsidised books for students aged 11-13 years. The selection of books included in the programme will be announced at the end of April.
Students at participating schools can choose a book to keep from a list of 17 titles suitable for 11-13-year-olds, selected by a panel of experts. The programme is aimed primarily at Year 7 and Year 8 students but can be extended to children of other ages. The cost to the school is 3 per participating student. Each Bookbuzz school receives: - A book and bookmark for every participating student to keep. - Two sets of the Bookbuzz books for the school library and staff room. (Mainstream schools will receive 2 sets of all core titles. Special schools will receive 1 set of core, and 2 sets of accessible titles). - A guide to using Bookbuzz, including tips on how to launch the programme, tools to support planning and ideas for writing projects based on the Bookbuzz books. - Access to the Bookbuzz website including extracts from the books, a film featuring the Bookbuzz authors, downloadable resources and competitions. The Bookbuzz programme is run by Booktrust and further details can be found here:
