Introduction

The Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children's Books will take place in Glasgow on Tuesday 22 February 2011 at a gala event for an audience of 200.

You can watch the cermony live on Glow here.

For those who participate as a class or reading group, we will be holding a special Glow Chat to discuss what you thought of the experience, whether you used any of the free teaching resources, and what your plans are for future reading projects.

This will be a fun and informal chat to share, discuss and generate ideas that may influence the future of our offering for teachers.

WIN FREE BOOKS!

As a thank you for participating, we will award a copy of each of the age category winner's books to one lucky teacher who both signs up and participates in our Glow Chat at 4pm on 22 February 2011.
