UKLA 2020 Book Award longlists announced

October 8th 2019

The UKLA Book Awards seek to celebrate children’s books in order to:

  • Encourage teachers to increase their professional and personal knowledge of recently published high quality children’s books
  • Promote the place of books for young people in all educational settings from nursery to key stage 4

The books selected for the award will be titles that teachers can share with pupils as part of regular classroom experience to:

  • Read for pleasure in the teacher’s read aloud programme to the whole class
  • Inspire extended response from learners (through discussion, creative interaction or understanding the wider curriculum)
  • Be the focus of study (set books, shared and guided reading)
  • Enhance all aspects of literacy learning and literary study

Selection committees and teacher judges are asked to look, first and foremost, for well-written, engaging ‘reads’ and, where appropriate, outstanding illustration and design.

The UKLA have announced the titles included in this year’s longlist.
