World Book Day 2026

Join Joel M and Vick Hope on a journey to discover that there is more than one way to be a reader. Follow the map, explore reading vibes and choose books that spark your feelings.

All aboard for this Live Lesson on World Book Day! Join presenters Joel M and Vick Hope as they reveal how books can be all-access travel passes that take you to many different places and spark lots of varied feelings.

Celebrate with us as we discover our unique reading vibes by exploring when, where and how we like to read, as well as thinking about how we want books to make us feel. We’ll be packing our bags full of brilliant ideas and hearing from some amazing authors as we travel all the way to our final destination: a Big Book Bash.

Along the way, we hear from schools across the UK and our Live Lessons artist, Venessa Scott, who will be capturing all our learning in a brilliant poster, with the key message that there is no right or wrong way to be a reader.
