For primary teachers and reading leads
No single tool builds a reading culture. These are the free and low-cost resources primary teachers rely on for choosing books, teaching reading and leading literacy — and how each one fits alongside the class library children borrow from every day.
Curated book lists by year group, topic and theme, plus recommended reads for each primary year.
Free age-banded reading lists for Reception through Year 6, updated regularly with new releases.
Short films and visual resources with matched teaching sequences for reading and writing.
Practical literacy training, research summaries and support for primary schools and subject leads.
The resources above help you decide which books belong in your classroom. Bookflicks is what happens next: the books already on your shelves become a scrollable, cover-first library children browse themselves, borrow without asking, and review for each other.
Every year group starts with a pre-loaded shelf — see the Year 1 to Year 6 reading lists — and you add or remove titles to match what's actually in the room.
If you're leading reading across a school, pair a strategy source such as Literacy Hive with practical changes in each classroom: book corner ideas for the physical space, and reading for pleasure for the routines that keep children choosing to read.
We're happy to include other genuinely useful primary reading resources — and to swap links with sites teachers already trust. Email grant@bookflicks.co.uk with a short description and we'll take a look.
Set up your class library in minutes — books are pre-loaded for every year group, and children browse and check out titles themselves.
