Since 2005 we have been involved in setting up and running book clubs for secondary school children to encourage social interaction around books. Members read a book a month and can meet weekly to discuss the book. They also have to fill in the corresponding workbooks to earn rewards as they make progress. We have run over 50 book clubs reaching a total of 750 students. To see full list of schools that have participated, click Here.
