and reading is back, BIGGER and
BETTER than ever!
What are YOU
planning in your
class, school or

Together, we can help young people
to develop a love of books and reading:

make a huge difference to a young person’s future.
What you need
to know
BE PART OF IT. LOG ON AND GET INVOLVED.
YA literature and books play a fundamental role in
developing young peoples’ academic engagement,
development and life chances, providing the
framework and stimulus through which to deepen their
understanding of themselves and the world around
them, through empathising with characters and
situations in high quality stories.

COPYRIGHT
Copyright is really important for authors, poets, artists,
musicians and all creators. No one likes it when someone else
copies their work – especially when they take credit for it. It’s
also wrong if someone copies work and then puts it online for
anyone to see or to use without permission. It’s essential that
students understand why copyright matters so that all creators
continue to receive the credit and payment they are entitled to.
Download the Publishers Association’s new lesson plan to help
you explain copyright and the role it plays in protecting ideas.
