Books for Teachers is a section of this site especially for teachers and specialises in providing quality books for primary schools. We believe strongly that all children should have access to the very best inspirational and educational books at school. Bags of Books have been working with schools all over the country for more than 20 years to help teachers find the perfect books for their classroom.
In this section of our site, we have compiled our recommended book lists for schools on many different topics and themes. The lists are regularly added to and updated, ensuring you’re getting access to the most up-to-date and relevant texts for your classroom or library.
As well as saving teachers time and effort we also aim to save you money. We will endeavour to always offer the best discount available to ensure we are very competitively priced.
Some of the services we offer schools are;
Library Top-Up
If your school or classroom library is looking sparse and dated contact us to renew and top-up your book selection. We’re happy to order a specific list of books, if you know exactly what you want, or to put together a fresh, exciting collection of brand new books to your specification. To help with your search, library essentials lets you browse our recommended books by school year split into selected categories.
Another way of keeping your library up-to-date is to subscribe to one of our Books of the Month subscriptions. Every month we hand-pick the very best quality, inspiring books, suitable across the primary age-range.
We work with schools across the country to provide book parcels for children who attract pupil premium funding. This is a Government grant that increasing numbers of schools have recently used as they try to encourage reading for pleasure and want to change attitudes to reading and provide books for those children who may not have access to them at home. By using our Pupil Premium service to give exciting, accessible, relevant and fun books you promote Reading For Pleasure and allow children to feel confident around books and proud of book ownership.
Budgets are tight and we know that not all of it can go on books, but getting a good turnaround of new books can help keep children inspired to read and aid with teaching in the classrooms. By creating a School Wishlist you can get parents/guardians and sponsors to help support your school library and classrooms updated by purchasing books on your Wishlist. Books ordered on a school’s wishlist will get the discount that the school would receive if ordering with us directly. Books are delivered directly to the school.
Books make great gifts, at any time of the year! Please get in touch if you need Year 6 leavers gifts, or gifts for any sort of prize or school award. We’re happy to order a specific list of books, if you know exactly what you want, or to make our own choices or suggestions for the gift’s recipient. Some schools have chosen to have a book for each year group delivered to them (gift-wrapping optional) every month to give away as a prize.
