It's World Book Day on 2 March and we've got some great resources and suggestions to help you celebrate reading for pleasure. The benefits of reading on children's attainment and wellbeing are well-documented, so whether you want to go all out with costumes and whole-school activities or you want a low-key approach, don't miss out on marking this special day!

World Book Day identifies six elements as fundamental to fostering a love of reading in children: 

• Being read to regularly
• Having books at home and school
• Finding time to read
• Having trusted help to find a book
• Giving children a choice in what to read
• Making reading fun
