📚 **TEACHERS & LITERACY LEADS – HAVE YOU SPENT YOUR BOOK BUDGET YET?** 📚

✨ **2026 is the National Year of Reading – and there has never been a better time to invest in books!** ✨

If you’re a **Literacy Lead, English Lead, Headteacher, School Librarian or teacher with a book budget**, take a look at the current **Usborne Class Set SALE**.

📖 **Selected class sets are available for less than £5 per book!** That means you can potentially add a whole set of engaging, high-quality books to your classroom, reading corner or school library without stretching your budget too far.

And in the **National Year of Reading**, what better investment can there be?

Reading is so much more than a school subject. It is a **life skill** – helping children develop vocabulary, communication, confidence, imagination and knowledge, while opening doors to every area of learning and life.

The National Year of Reading 2026 is encouraging children to **“Go All In”** – connecting reading with the things they already love, whether that’s sport, music, food, nature, gaming, adventure or stories. ([Usborne][1])

💡 **And it doesn't stop at the books!**

Usborne has a fantastic collection of **FREE teachers’ resources, lesson plans, activities and reading resources** to support schools and make the most of your books. ([Usborne][2])
