Book Bank
Book Bank is our longest running program supporting children in Year 3 to Year 6 from priority primary schools throughout Australia. Students select a brand-new book each term (four per year), every year for four years.
Students are encouraged to share their books with their classmates and take the books home to keep, at the end of every term. The students choose their books from a carefully curated list, which enables them to choose books they are interested in, which engages them with their learning.
Feedback from the schools and students consistently tells us that Book Bank is one of the most powerful ways to motivate children to read. Book Bank Programs are often supported by local companies, philanthropists or grant bodies who get to see first hand the impact their support has.
“The Book Bank program is one of the most powerful and beneficial I have been involved in. I heard from a parent on Tuesday this week of their child’s new-found enjoyment of reading. This really was a WOW moment for me and will probably change the trajectory of this child’s life”
