This award encourages teachers to explore a book in detail, by not only looking at the author and the text, but also immersing their classes into worlds of possibility thinking. Teachers may decide to use their chosen book as part of a theme they are teaching with their children, it could be an author study, or maybe a one-off exploration – the choice is theirs!
The response can be presented in any way, e.g., through information technology, dance, art, drama, writing, music, spoken presentation or any combination of these.
Entries for 2022, based on the 2021 Book Awards shortlists, are invited Autumn term 2021 and Spring term 2022.
The deadline is 8 April 2022.
