A NOVEL way to entertain children is available for this half-term.

Two free interactive storybooks are available from learndirect to help families make the most of their time together and have fun while learning.

Learndirect research has revealed that almost one in three of parents admit to wanting to brush up on their basic English and maths to support their children’s learning and development at home.

The online books have been specially designed to keep kids reading over the half-term, but also help those parents reading with their children feel more confident about their own English skills.

The new storybooks are available at learndirect.
