In the UK and Ireland World Book Day is celebrated on the first Thursday in March.
World Book Day was created to celebrate books and reading. The focus is on encouraging children and young people to read for pleasure and share a love of reading.
This year, the World Book Day charity is asking people to "Read Your Way". This basically means find any way that you can to read. Some suggestions are taking books home from school to read, listen to books being read aloud - by family or through an audiobook, choosing books that interest you, and making time to read.
We will have a special day in school to read new books, talk about reading, recommend our favourite books and dress up as our favourite characters from the books we read. We can't wait to see you all dressed up in your costumes.
