World book Day 2025: Thursday 6th March.

World Book Day encourages more children and families to find the fun and enjoyment in reading.

The mission is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own.

The theme for World Book Day 2025 is "Read Your Way".

Why "Read Your Way"?

• The theme encourages children to celebrate their choices when it comes to reading. 
• When children's choices are championed, they are more likely to enjoy reading.
• The theme celebrates the joy of reading for pleasure and sharing books they love. 

There is some fantastic free downloadable resources on the World Book Day website for families.

How do you get a voucher?
