World Book Day

Join us for a super-sized celebration of reading as Ben Shires hosts a lesson all about reading for pleasure. Along with author Nathan Bryon, he helps viewers to identify the kinds of books they enjoy and challenges them to discover new genres to explore. Illustrator Dapo Adeola shows us his creative talents and demonstrates pictorial story-telling, showing us the role pictures have to play in books of all kinds. We look at story structure and examine how persuasive language can help us recommend our favourite books to friends. And award-winning children’s author Frank Cottrell-Boyce answers viewers’ questions.
