ReadingZone Live brings regular interviews and live video conferences with some of the best contemporary children’s authors to London schools. This new resource has also been made available for use by Birmingham schools and other local authorities.

ReadingZone Live: How it works
Each month, a group of LGfL schools are linked with their live author events via video conferencing, with one school’s reading group selected to host the author event. During each event, authors discuss their writing before answering the students’ questions via video conference.

After each event, the curriculum-based resources are added to via the LGfL ‘Reading Zone Live’ website. The resources include footage of authors discussing their work and creative writing, their inspiration and the issue surrounding writing for a living.
