2008 National Year of Reading
The 2008 National Year of Reading is going out with a bang – or a Zap and a Kaboom at least! This month’s theme is Write the future, which means it’s time to unleash those crazy space craft, evil robots and futuristic superheroes.
Our Manga-licious new Out of This World series is just the thing to get you inspired. Check it out!
Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen has generously created and donated, for the National Year of Reading (and for children everywhere), this spectacular poem. Why not create your own verses celebrating the kinds of words you like most?
