Reading Is Fundamental, UK
Promoting book choice, ownership and the fun of reading

Resources: links to publisher activity resources

Many publishers provide activity ideas and downloadable worksheets on their websites that you could include in your RIF events or use for follow-up work between events. Most are connected to a favourite book or character, so you might like to ensure that you have a copy of the book to hand for the children to look at.

Please read the activities carefully to ensure that they are suitable for the children you are working with before you use them. RIF is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
