DIA INTERNACIONAL DEL LIBRO

El Día Mundial del Libro es la celebración anual más grande sobre los libros y la lectura en el Reino Unido e Irlanda.

'Read to a Million Kids', sponsored by Renaissance Learning, is a brand new initiative for World Book Day 2010. The 11 £1 Book stories, read by their authors or actors, will be broadcast online during World Book Day. Available exclusively to schools and libraries in the first instance, and supplemented with a fun quiz about the reading (to download please visit the Read to a Million Kids page), please visit http://www.readtoamillionkids.co.uk/ to find out more and to register to participate.

The films are now available via the Read to a Million Kids page, so if you missed the viewings on the day, please visit to hear your favourite book read out loud. You can now also follow us on Twitter .

Pre-schools and Secondary Schools in the UK need to register to receive support material including the World Book Day £1 Book Tokens. UK Primary Schools and all Irish Schools on the DES database will automatically receive material.
