Booked Up

This autumn every 11-year-old in England will be able to choose a free book from a list of 12 specially selected titles. This is a new national programme called Booked Up, supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families. This week I will be giving girls a magazine with all the details. We also have a set of the books to help the girls make their choice, and we will spend time discussing the titles. In order to meet the ordering deadline I will need to know each girl's selection by 26 September. There is more information at http://www.bookedup.org.uk.
