National Year of Reading

Picture of balloons

Help to launch the British National Year of Reading (September 16th 1998 - August 1999) by sending a virtual balloon.

Schools from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Denmark and England have been e-mailing each other with reviews of their favourite books. Pupils aged from 5 - 14 years have joined in.

The general format is:

Hello, my name is *****. I am **** years old and I go to ******* school which is in *******. My favourite book is ****** by *********. It's about******. I like it because ********.

This format is not fixed - as long as the main facts are there, it doesn't matter.
