World Book Day is celebrated on the first Thursday in March in the UK. The event was created by UNESCO in 1995 as a worldwide celebration of books and reading.
Spending just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories can make a crucial difference to a child’s future success and is fun for all involved.
Reading stories is also a great opportunity to make links to rights. This pack focuses on Articles 17 (access to information from the media), 29 (the goals of education) and 31 (leisure, play and culture) but do feel free to make links to any right that fits with theme of a book in class where appropriate.
