Love this idea, especially as it's National Year of Reading (UK). Does anyone do this in a primary school with reluctant readers?

Hi there! That's a great idea. 💡 We've had teachers report that they have done this at the elementary level, and their students love it as well. Let us know if you try it. We'd love to know how it goes. Happy reading! 📚
