Embsay Primary School is on a mission to give every child the gift of reading by fostering a culture of reading for pleasure and providing 50 new, exciting, and age-appropriate books for each year group. Reading for pleasure is key to building the vital literacy skills children need to thrive, supporting their confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm for education.

We aim to replace some of our older, well-loved but worn free reading books with a more diverse range of recommended texts tailored to each year group, from Reception to Year 6. These books will be curated to encourage daily reading habits and inspire a lifelong love of books. Each year group will receive a specially curated list of 50 Recommended Reads, balancing age-appropriate fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphic novels, and tactile or novelty books for younger readers. These selections feature diverse characters and settings, spanning a range of genres to cater to every child’s interests and developmental stage.

By sponsoring a book, you’ll leave a lasting legacy, with your name or business proudly acknowledged inside the cover. Together, we can enrich our school library, ensuring children have access to a wide variety of rich material that will shape their literacy skills and build their appetite for learning.

Help us make this holiday season extra special! Share this initiative with family, friends, and local businesses, and let’s invest in our children’s futures—one book at a time.
