Got a brilliant book you can’t stop talking about? Why not share it by taking part in our Audiobook Series!
It’s easy to get involved — just record yourself reading the first chapter of your favourite book. Start your recording like this:
“Hello, my name is [Your Name] from Year [Your Year], and I’m going to read from [Book Title] by [Author].” For example: “Hello, my name is Molly from Year 8 and I’m going to read from Safiyyah’s War by Hiba Noor Khan.”
Then, read the first chapter clearly and confidently. When you’ve finished, tell us a bit about why you love this book and why others should read it too — what makes it special, exciting, or unforgettable?
Finally, email your recording to Dr Hayward (ehayward@channing.co.uk). Merits for every submission.
Let’s inspire each other to discover amazing stories — one chapter at a time!
