Up for Reading
teaching resources

You can, of course, use any books you want when taking part in Up for Reading, but we are sure that children will enjoy using books by Up for Reading supporters Michael Morpurgo, Lucy Cousins or Quentin Blake.

This page provides links to useful teaching resources that will help you use books by Lucy Cousins, Michael Morpurgo and Quentin Blake for your Up for Reading activities. These include lesson plans that link to the national literacy curriculum, as well as other useful materials.
