5 new online courses offering continuing professional development and a fresh approach to exploring reading for pleasure.
At BookSpace we transform your library into a space that children want to visit. We don’t simply shelve your walls with bookcases – using curves, archways and peninsulas we create intimate and safe areas that children want to explore whether they’re reading, researching or studying.
WordSpace is an innovative range of resources designed to inspire children to write. Adopting the WordSpace approach will help to embed a positive writing culture in school by making writing interesting, relevant and, above all, fun.
At BookSpace we understand reading psychology – the pleasures and fears associated with reading, the motivators which encourage children to develop confidence with books. We have also studied how reading is physically presented. What tempts a child to pick up a book? What encourages a child to use the library independently?
We offer a free design service for primary schools seeking to create a new library or transform an existing one. Designed especially to meet the needs of primary schools, our shelving system makes exciting curved spaces, presenting the book covers at the right height for children to see, touch and take.
If you’re looking to pep up your library and give an existing space more appeal, we have a range of feature pieces that will add a real ‘wow’ factor. There are also cost-effective ways to make instant book displays on table-tops and transform existing shelving with face-out display.
And if you want to embed a positive writing culture in your school, the WordSpace range offers great resources to stimulate ideas and events that will give even the most reluctant writer inspiration.
