Encouraging children to read can be challenging. It can be even harder if the selection of books on offer in the school library is limited or in need of revival.

Box Tops for Books offers FREE educational books from Dorling Kindersley in exchange for the tokens found on the tops of Nestlé Cereals.

Thousands of schools have received over 207,000 free books over the last three years and, with the scheme starting its 10th year, we are hoping to make it even bigger and better than before.

What's more, Box Tops for Books supports the teaching of literacy, for example through the Primary Framework for literacy or the National Priorities in Education in Scotland, by helping schools provide a broad range of books that inspire, teach, amuse and challenge pupils.

Help children to develop their imagination and critical awareness and to develop their speaking and listening skills by offering a wider selection of popular and engaging books.

Simply collect tokens from the tops of Nestlé Cereals boxes and give them to your child's school. The school will redeem the tokens and choose from over 150 fantastic titles. It takes as little as 10 tokens to get one book.
