Notes for teachers or adults

We suggest this project is done by children between the age of 4 and 7. It can be done either from home or in school.

Pens and paper or a computer or tablet with a word processing package. You may need a scanner or camera so you can upload it to your school's website.

I want to know what has been the favourite book you have read or had read to you. It's a very simple project. It will probably only take up one sheet of A4 paper if you use a word processing package. If you choose to write it, then it will depend on the size of your writing but, if you are writing it, do make sure your writing is neat and can easily be read by other people.

We would like you to give us the following information:-

• Name of the book:
• The author:
• When it was published: (you can usually find this at the very front)
• How old were you when you first heard or read the book:
• A brief summary of the book: (no more than 200 words)
• Why you liked it: (no more than 200 words)

These instruction in PDF format and only intended for teachers can be found here

If you are doing this project on your own at home, you can email a copy of the finished project to us and it may find its way on to our site. Send it to homeprojectsy@owlbut.co.uk That would be owlingly brilliant. Off you go.

We are asking schools to set up a special part of their school website called Owlbut's World of Learning and all work done by pupils should be uploaded there. Each project, if you decide to do more than one, should have a separate section. Send the link to littleowletteprojects@owlbut.co.uk.

We will start uploading projects sent to us and links from schools in September 2025. The projects and links will be accessed from this page.

Richard has delved deep into his memory and written an example about a book he had read to him when he was 3 years old. He never realised till now how famous the author was (look him up). Click here to read it. Try to make your example look roughly like this.
