Authors Live

The Scottish Book Trust and BBC Scotland have presented many world class children’s authors and illustrators to classrooms for free, live on the  internet, over the past couple of years - authors such as Julia Donaldson, Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson and many more.

You can watch the full event videos again and also download any relevant resources at the Scottish Book Trust website.  Different events are suitable for nursery, through primary to S5.

Meet the author

The Scottish Book Trust has set up more live weblinks with authors for next session.

You can register your class for events with Philip Pullman or Charlie Higson and you can also access previous web events with other authors such as Michael Rosen, Julia Donaldson and Michael Morpurgo. All include resources to use with your class.

Scottish Book Trust

The Scottish Book Trust has two Online Teachers in Residence who take turns to blog each week about their experiences in the classroom.

The site also has a teachers' book group and lots of free classroom resources and teaching tools for language, literacy and Curriculum for Excellence.
