Great author event with Steven Butler

The author event was well organised, started promptly and we got a full hour of Steven Butler's time. Great that there was time for real interaction and Q&As.

We are so sorry you felt disappointed by the newsletter service. It was our error in not informing you about the service being discontinued. To our knowledge this was picked up at the time and you were reimbursed and compensated. We have since put measures in place to ensure other customers don't fall through the cracks in this way. Keep making reading rock :-)

Fantastic service, great way to find new reads

We absolutely love our Reading Rocks subscription. The books are always a great choice, we have discovered lots of new exciting reads, perfect for our bedtime reading routine! We usually finish both books just in time for the next set to come through! Highly recommend

Great book choices delivered every 2…

Great book choices delivered every 2 months or so. They pick books you might miss but are delighted that they didn’t miss them. Exposed to new authors that become firm favourites. Highly recommend

Moving to y4 this year

Moving to y4 this year, so very tentatively changed my subscription to Lks2. I needn’t have worried. Two beautiful books arrived, and immediately i knew they’d be a huge hit in the classroom. A Barrington Stoke and a graphic novel. Can’t wait to get stuck into them. Love the little extras that always come with my box also, so thank you!

A real treat

We have loved most of the books sent to us and always look forward to the boxes arriving.
I'd love to have the option of one book from each box, a mixed keystage box I suppose, rather than having to pick just one.

I love opening my Reading Rocks boxes - so much so that I order 2! Each time I love finding out what Heather has chosen for us and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the diversity of book titles. My class really enjoy reading the books after me, it’s just a great way to get new fiction into the classroom. The little treats are always gorgeous too.

Book subscription

I subscribe to the Reading Rocks Book Box which I receive every 2 months. I really like it as each time I have had two books, signed by the author, that were not even on my radar. This has given a diversity to my classroom bookshelf and some excellent reads.
