Hooks into Books - What You Neeed to Know
“I love Hooks Into Books. The selection is great, they are books I might not normally choose or even know about, but the packs put them right into your hands. When stuck for time to research exactly what is out there Hooks Into Books does it for you. The information they come with is really useful too, and can send us off in lots of directions. The children love receiving the packs and even the more reluctant older boys can’t wait to see what has arrived. The impact in school has been huge.”
Carol Wilson, Headteacher, Fellgate Primary School, Jarrow.
Choosing books for your key stage can be challenging and time consuming but Seven Stories can help! Our Hooks into Books packs are designed for you to put reading for pleasure and the best children’s books at the heart of your school. We chose new titles each term and develop recommendations and suggestions on their use to provide a complete pack for you to buy on subscription. Following the popularity of our Hooks into Books for FS, KS1 and KS2, we are now introducing packs for KS3.

Judith Kerr Teacher's Resource Pack
"[The Judith Kerr pack] has provided at least a half-term's worth of work. It struck the balance perfectly between informative and allowing a teacher's individual creativity to shape the activities." - Lisa Lowery, Percy Main School, Newcastle upon Tyne
"Next year I plan on using all the stuff from the teacher's pack as part of WWII." - John Carey, Waterville Primary School, North Shields
Inspired by our acclaimed Judith Kerr Exhibition, this pack is designed to give teachers a framework to create an enriched reading experience of Judith's semi-autobiographical novel, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, exploring the key themes of the story and the events that inspired it.
The pack contains tips and advice on reading the text, activities to explore and enrich further the themes in the book, as well as signposts to how these activities can enrich and support curriculum skills and knowledge.
Pack contents:
* A film where pupils can "meet" Judith, see the reading journey of pupils and examples of practice to support the resource pack.
* Teacher's notes and guidance.
* Copies of Judith's artwork for use in class activities.
* A copy of Out of the Hitler Time (which contains When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit and the other two books in her Anna Trilogy).
* A copy each of Mog the Forgetful Cat and The Tiger Who Came to Tea, both of which feature in the class activities.
*We will also email a PDF copy of the pack, for ease of use and reproduction in the classroom.
Aimed at Key Stage 2, the pack supports creative and active experiences in reading, World War II topics, Personal Learning and Thinking Skills, PHSE, citizenship, literacy and creative writing.
