Shelf talker (.pdf)
Used in bookshops, this shelf talker will help enhance your book display by highlighting a particular book on a shelf. Edit the text box with the title of the book that you are recommending on the shelf and print the file out onto card. Then fold the card in the middle and lay the top half of the shelf talker on the bookshelf with the bottom half hanging down at the front of the shelf.

Edit the text boxes on the bookmark, for example "If you liked Stormbreaker, try Point Blanc by the same author". Print out the bookmarks onto card and use them in the school library.

Reading passport (.pdf)
Edit the text box with the pupil's name and print out the passport (onto card if possible). Fold the passport according to the simple fold instructions and open the passport again, complete with fold lines. Trim the border of the passport and refold according to the fold lines already created. Hand the passports out to pupils. Every time a pupil reads a book, award them with a stamp or sticker. When pupils have read 10 books, they have completed their reading challenge.
