Everything you need for Book Week — a whole-class unit plus the printables to go with it.
This bundle is built around The Great Book Mystery: a four to five week whole-class unit where every student brings in a wrapped, disguised book covered in clues. One book is unwrapped each day, the class predicts what it might be, and you read it together. Fifteen to twenty minutes a day, Foundation to Year 6.
Alongside the unit you get the reading logs, review sheets and celebration printables to run the whole week without the Sunday night planning stress.
What's included:
-
The Great Book Mystery — complete whole-class unit: unit overview, learning focus, learning intentions and success criteria, materials list, teacher preparation checklist, a launch phase, the daily reveal routine, an end-of-unit class vote, assessment opportunities, year-level adaptations for F–2, 3–4 and 5–6, teacher tips and a notes page
-
Parent information note — book-selection, wrapping and clue instructions, supplied as an editable Canva template
-
My Reading Log — a colour-in bookshelf log for recording every book read
-
Book review sheets — plot, characters, opinion, rating and fun facts
-
Film review sheets — the same format for screen texts
-
Book as an Album Cover — a creative response worksheet
-
Reading King and Reading Queen crowns — colour, cut and wear
-
Reading is Magic bookmarks — colour-in, ready to cut
-
Book Week writing and drawing pages — including My Favourite Book
Why teachers love it:
-
A real unit, not just worksheets — a planned sequence with intentions, success criteria and assessment notes, ready to drop into your program
-
Fifteen minutes a day — a consistent daily routine that runs across weeks, not a one-off lesson
-
Every year level — adaptations for Foundation to Year 6, so it works across a whole school
-
Photocopier-friendly — student pages are black and white, because we know what printing budgets look like
-
Print and go — no prep beyond a roll of butcher's paper and a mystery box
Perfect for:
- Book Week celebrations in Foundation–Year 6
- Class or whole-school reading events
- Library and literacy focus weeks
- Reading and inference lessons all year round
- Relief folders and last-minute literacy blocks
Make this year's Book Week the one students talk about all term.
