Reading does ROCK!

We have just started using Reading Rocks in our class and the children absolutely love it. They love receiving their new books. I have contacted them via email a couple of times and have found Heather and Sian both prompt, courteous and very helpful. Will certainly recommend!

Help buying specific books

Reading Rocks were able to help me to order a specific list of books that I needed, at a cheaper price that the big online retailer! They offer a personal experience, having the books delivered after the school holidays at my request. Prompt and efficient!

My class LOVE the virtual author visits with Reading Rocks, they're so engaging, and having their names read out and questions answers makes it so exciting for them. After Emma Carroll's author event today, all her books have gone straight off the shelves!

The best subscription out there

I have the KS2 box and it always has books I've added to my wish list. I've now also ordered the new KS3 box
It does not disappoint! What a superb selection of books to read and share.

Hi - I'm sorry you are disappointed not to have your books yet. I can see you signed up in August and your payment was taken on 6th September. Your subscription box has been carefully wrapped and has dispatched this week. This timeline is explained on our website, but I'm sorry you didn't see that well enough. I'll see if we can make it clearer. I hope you enjoy your box when it arrives in the next day or so. Keep rocking reading! [ I've emailed you too :-) ]

Naomi Jones & Rebecca Ashdown Author / Illustrator event.

The online author event was an outstanding experience for our class. The children thoroughly enjoyed the story reading, which captured their imaginations from the very start. The live drawing session was an enormous success—every single child in my class was completely engaged and able to follow along step by step. By the end of the session, each child had completed their own drawing and was so proud to share their work.

It’s worth noting that 15 of the 30 children in my class have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and the fact that every child was able to participate fully and confidently is a testament to how inclusive, accessible, and inspiring this event was.

I would highly recommend this author session to other schools looking to spark creativity and a love of reading and art.

The staff and students loved being part of the talk and we have already started reading 'Serial Chillers'.
All the pupils found it really engaging and the staff enjoyed it too!

Outstanding subscription boxes

I order a regular subscription box. It never ceases to amaze me how the books are exactly what I want! It's like magic 🌟 For me it is the best subscription service for primary aged children.

I’ve been using Reading Rocks for a while now, and while it’s a decent service, there’s room for improvement. The books are fantastic and bring excitement to the children, but the overall experience doesn’t always meet expectations. It’s a nice resource, just not exceptional. A solid 3-star experience.
