All aboard! Joel M and Vick Hope are taking your class on a journey to discover how they like to read. In this curriculum-linked programme for 7-11 year-olds, your pupils will complete fun challenges and hear from some amazing authors as we celebrate the joy of reading for pleasure. Our Live Lessons artist, Venessa Scott, is on-hand capturing all our learning in a brilliant poster, with the key message that there’s no right or wrong way to be a reader. The 30-minute Live Lesson is available to watch now on this page and on BBC iPlayer.
