Dear Colleague

Please find attached an invitation to join our world mini-book making project. Please share the information with any partner schools you have, including schools abroad. It's a great end-of-year activity and students really enjoy reading each other's books. We began this last year as a collaborative project between local schools in Essex to improve motivation for language learning and to engage students more with reading. This year at the beginning of our phase 2 launch we already have 8 different countries involved across 4 continents of the world, but this number will grow before September. Many thanks for your help - enjoy the books!
