Children can track their reading journey using these digital versions of the reading passport. 

There are English and Gaelic versions below, including an accessible plain-text word document version. Children can fill in their passport digitally, and use the copy and paste function to add room for more books if they need to!

An escape room style resource, created by Padlox Escape Rooms. Pupils must solve book-related puzzles to find the hidden quill. The resource will test their book knowledge, and encourage them to work collaboratively to solve the 10 brain-teasing puzzles.  

Padlox Escape Rooms bring escape rooms to schools, offering a curriculum-focussed half day experience for groups of 30 pupils called 'Escape The Classroom!'

Start conversations across the school by distributing these door signs to all staff members, showing that they are readers too.

Using this printable open book template, you could ask pupils to respond to a book or their reading journey; you could even encourage them to create a picture out of letters!

Adaptable certificates for teachers and librarians to use with pupils who complete personal challenges. These certificates are designed to be downloaded and printed for use in the classroom.
