Book Week 2023 – Read, Grow, Inspire!

With an already overcrowded curriculum, it can be challenging to find the time to engage with events such as Book Week in a purposeful and meaningful way. Add to this a classroom full of highly excitable students dressed as monsters, superheroes and would-be wizards and this task becomes almost impossible! 

Never fear, the Teach Starter book hunt is here! We’ve found a way to capitalise on that electric Book Week energy by creating a fabulous mini-book that will guide your students through a theme-inspired book hunt full of literature-related challenges!

In this mini-book, students will explore the following content related to Book Week 2023:

• This year’s Book Week theme is Read, Grow, Inspire. What does this mean to you?
•  Name a book you would recommend to others and explain why.
• Name a book you have read that inspired you and explain why.
• Find a book with a strong female character. What is her name and what makes her strong?
• Find a book with illustrations. What type of illustrations are they?

Each page includes room for a student illustration and written response related to the topic.
