Star Review Book Of The Week Board

Every classroom or nursery setting deserves a dedicated corner that shouts, "Books are brilliant!" The Star Review Book of the Week board is here to take your reading corner from "cosy" to "outstanding" with its charming starry design and space for the week’s standout book review. Perfect for inspiring EYFS literacy activities, this board will make books the star of the show (literally) while helping children explore letters, storytelling, and comprehension skills. Whether you’re showcasing a nursery rhyme story sack or the latest addition to your KS2 reading library , this star-themed gem makes literacy the highlight of the week.

Now, let’s talk functionality! Measuring a compact-yet-prominent 52cm x 55cm, this board fits snugly into any cosy reading corner  or eyfs reading area. With designated space for teachers’ recommendations and learners’ own reviews ("My favourite… I like because…"), it turns reading into an interactive experience. It’s not just a board; it’s a literacy station that sparks curiosity and enthusiasm for books. And because we’re all about keeping things practical, please note that wall fixings are not supplied—so, yes, you’ll need to raid the stationery cupboard for screws and anchors. But hey, it’s worth the effort to create a hub for early years literacy activities and beyond.

Using this board in EYFS settings means you’re not just working on reading—you’re building fine motor skills too! Think about how learners develop their ability to form letters and craft thoughtful reviews. It’s also a fantastic spot for nursery rhyme spoons  or a story sack display. Whether it’s rhymes to time or alphabet adventures, this board can support diverse EYFS literacy activities while creating a vibrant, engaging focal point. So go ahead—let those books (and learners’ imaginations) shine!
