Keep your keen readers engaged these holidays
Get your kids to review their favourite books to be on the New Zealand Book Council website and win great prizes from Scholastic!

Top reviewers and their schools will each be in to win a fantastic prize pack of books from Scholastic NZ every two months, with the first selections to be made on Friday 30 July.

The best reviewer aged between 6-8 years, 9–12 years, and 13+ will each receive a pack of books courtesy of Scholastic NZ. These reviews will also be published in The School Library, the Book Council’s reviews publication sent to member schools.

The top three students from each age group who submit reviews for the website will also be rewarded. Their reviews will be published on the Book Council site in the ‘Your Reviews’ section of the Kids’ Education site.

The school that encourages the largest number of entries from their students in relation to its size will receive a pack of new release Scholastic NZ books for their library.

To submit a review or three and be in to win these fantastic books, simply email Sarah at education@bookcouncil.org.nz with your entries, including the name and age of the author, and name of the school in the top right-hand corner of the word or PDF document.

For further information please contact Sarah Forster, Education Manager, education@bookcouncil.org.nz, ph; (04) 499 1569, fax: (04) 499 1424
