Collections of books made specifically for each individual child and to your budget.

Every child should have their own high-quality, inspiring books. Give all your Pupil Premium children a set of books to treasure. We create collections of books that are matched to each child’s age, ability and interests.

These questionnaires are for your children to complete to help us create the perfect set of books for them. It tells us a bit about their age, interests, favourite authors and what to avoid.

Please get in touch (julia@chestnutbooks.co.uk) to discuss your requirements before you ask your children to complete these questionnaires.


Research by the Institute of Education has also found that the benefits of reading continue as children get older, with the combined effect on children’s progress at 16 of regularly reading books and newspapers and visiting the library “four times greater than the
advantage children gained from having a parent with a degree.”

In short, reading can achieve something teachers and policymakers have been attempting for decades: to lessen or even eliminate the impact of early life disadvantage.
