May Half-Term 23 - 31 May 2015

Lovereading4kids is delighted to announce that we have agreed a major sponsorship deal with Hay Festival which will include a dedicated Lovereading4kids Books Zone, a series of talks and workshops, collaborations with publishers to provide themed days as well as sponsorship of two major children’s author events.  

The Lovereading4kids Book Zone will be situated in the Make and Take Tent in the HAY FEVER children’s area throughout the entire festival. It will be a fun and cool place for children and their families to chill out during breaks between ticketed events. There will be LR4K members of staff on hand to encourage children and parents to browse books, explore the website, register as members and recommend suitable books for age groups, ability and interest.

Visiting authors, editors, publishers and reviewers will drop in to offer advice and guidance in their areas of expertise. The Lovereading4kids Book Zone will have special shelves to inspire a love of reading including books for Reluctant Readers, Dyslexia Friendly books, Great Books for Boys, Classics, Picture books and contemporary novels by age range and interest age.

We will be organising several insightful and engaging talks by dyslexia specialist/book professionals for teachers, parents and librarians on inspiring dyslexic and struggling readers and with 1:1 sessions available afterwards. We will also be holding several workshops in the Scribblers Hut for children who are experiencing difficulties to encourage, support and inspire a love of reading.
