Events Activities
Seasonal and celebration-themed reading activities to make phonics and books part of World Book Day, Easter, Halloween, and more.
Summer story starter
Use the summer colouring sheet as a story prompt — what's happening in the scene? Tell or write a short story about it. Imagination and colour in one go.
Winter reading den build
Build a blanket den, hang winter colouring on the walls, make a bookmark and curl up with a book. Cosy, seasonal, and a brilliant excuse to read.
Easter sound hunt
Hide letter cards around the room like Easter eggs. Hunt for them, find them, say the sound. Seasonal phonics that gets everyone moving.
Halloween spooky sounds
Grab the Halloween colouring sheet and get spooky with sounds. Brainstorm creepy words, spot the digraphs hiding inside them, and make phonics feel just a little bit frightening.
Bonfire Night book review
Find a fireworks story, read it together, colour the sheet, then chat about it over a simple book review. Seasonal reading with a bit of reflection built in.
Advent reading challenge
A star a day keeps the reading slump away. Track your child's December reading on our Advent chart — a small ritual that makes the whole month feel a little more magical.
World Book Day colouring & book chat
Colour our World Book Day page together and chat about favourite books, characters and stories. Low-key, lovely, and a good excuse to talk about reading.
