Take 10 in schools

We know you know the benefits that reading can bring to your students. The right words can spark a pupil's imagination, calm their mind and improve their wellbeing. Why not support your pupils this World Mental Health Day with Take 10 events and resources?

We have a brilliant line up of authors for this year's Take 10 events, including Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet of Supertato, plus Natalie Denny of the Keisha Jones series and A.F. Steadman of the Skandar series. We have something for all ages, from 3-13 years. You can also find free, downloadable resources including a classroom guide all about promoting book choice to inspire a love of reading for your students.

Take 10 school events

Our free, virtual events help to bring the wellbeing benefits and a love of reading to your school or setting. We also welcome and encourage anyone home-educated to register for these events too. Find out more about all the events we have on offer below.
