NOTE: This was originally made for a school running the IB MYP, hence why the standards for MYP are listed in the project booklet - however, this can be adapted for KS2/KS3/K-12 etc. The project was run in a ‘paper-free’ school, meaning that the students completed it on devices. If you are printing it as booklets please ensure to edit the document to create enough space for resposnes from students.

This resource is designed to be implemented during fortnightly library sessions, with the aim of encouraging reluctant readers and giving students ownership over their reading journey. All activities have their own independent success criteria and are also linked to the MYP English Language & Literature assessment criteria.
