Our new website, MyBookBlog, is shifting children’s attitudes to reading for pleasure. MyBB supports children to choose a fantastic book to read (available in their school library) and guides them through the story.
MyBB children:
blog about their thoughts and feelings
grow their vocabulary
check their comprehension
explore related non-fiction fact files.
The parents love it - 'MyBB really takes my son to the next level with his comprehension, vocabulary and ability to articulate his thoughts' - Parent 2016

Neil Gaiman Vlog Competition
Introducing... our first MyBookBlog competition in association with Bloomsbury publishing!
It’s really important that children are reading books that aren’t too hard or too easy. They need to be reading at the 'Goldilocks Spot'. How do you select the right book for the right child when the criteria for banding books is so opaque? Read Ruth's blog about the problems Book Bands caused for Daisy.
