For the second year running, we are providing schools with fun ‘mini’ Accelerated Reader-style quizzes on this year’s £1 World Book Day books and up to three other titles by the 2015 authors.
Available from today and all the way until the end of April, ‘mini’ quizzes and a host of additional activities and resources will be freely available from takethequiz.co.uk. Two of the World Book Day authors will be featured in special ‘quizzing weeks’ between now and World Book Day itself, offering AR-style quizzes on some of their most popular titles.
The quizzing activity begins today with three titles each from David McKee (author of the classic Elmer books) and Tom Fletcher & Dougie Poynter (McFly pop stars turned children’s authors). After each quizzing week, the featured quizzes will be available on the Take the Quiz website until the end of April. Quizzes on the £1 titles from this year’s authors will be available from 2nd March.
Also available via the takethequiz.co.uk website is a free double-sided poster and year planner featuring key dates of national reading events for your school. Request your copy soon to avoid missing out!
