Non-Fiction November: celebrate the power of exploring interests and expanding knowledge

Non-Fiction November provides a fabulous, annual opportunity to celebrate reading for information, to expand knowledge, and to explore individual interests. National Literacy Trust research shows that providing pupils with the opportunity to read and explore non-fiction plays a vital role in helping them to learn about their world, as well as fostering reading for pleasure. It is therefore essential that pupils have access to a high-quality and engaging non-fiction collection.
