All Dressed Up

World Book Day, Rubies and Parentkind are teaming up to give more children the opportunity of dressing up for World Book Day, to find the fun in reading.

World Book Day is all about the fun of reading – because it seriously improves lives. Dressing up is a great way to encourage children to enjoy reading. It’s a creative way to express what they like about reading, it sparks imagination and makes reading sociable and fun.

Rubies are aiming to give up to 100,000 costumes away, worth an estimated £1 million in value, to disadvantaged children.

Parentkind are encouraging PTAs and schools with over 25% free school meal provision to sign up to get a dressing up box for their school, to use on World Book Day and beyond.

PTAs are encouraged to donate £1 a costume to the charity World Book Day, to support them to get more children involved in the fun of reading.

World Book Day is offering PTAs the opportunity to use its annual event to fundraise for books and other reading resources – to support children’s reading enjoyment all year round.

Let’s get All Dressed Up to give more children the benefits of reading for fun.
