Hi NJS
As I’m not able to work from the library at the moment, I’ve spent some time looking at websites of some of your favourite authors. Many of them now include activities, quizzes, recipes or lesson plans that can be used to add to your enjoyment of reading. Here’s some of my favourites:
https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/activities/
David Walliams has loads of things to do on here, including activities for most of his older, well-known stories.
https://wimpykid.com/
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, has a section on fun stuff where you can meet Greg Heffley!
https://www.roalddahl.com/home/teachers
This has to be my favourite, as there is so much to look at on here, with lesson plans for your favourite books , you’re bound to find some activities to do.

If you click the tiny little flag ”teachers” you can find lesson plans and pupil resources.
