Say hello to another Penguin vending machine 👋 Secondary-school students at Linlithgow Academy now have access to over 70 different titles from our #LitinColour reading lists, via their new vending machine! Linlithgow Academy was picked from over 800 applications from schools across the UK, and it's hoped the vending machine will contribute to the school’s love of reading by making books more accessible and diversifying the range of titles available 📚✨ The machine is free to use and will be managed by teachers via a token system. With iconic titles from authors like Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, and Arundhati Roy, it will help students discover more brilliant books by authors of colour 🧡 Take a look at the #LitinColour reading lists >> https://lnkd.in/eQ8q-vjQ #books #book #reading #reader #school #schools #teacher #englishliterature #education #inclusive #publishing #library #PenguinBooks

Books have the power to create belonging 📚 They help us to see and understand each other – which is why it’s vital that the books we read at school reflect the rich diversity of the society we live in. Since our 2021 report, we’ve launched the Lit in Colour Pioneers Pilot report with exam board Pearson, Runnymede Trust, and Department of Education, University of Oxford, which reveals that teaching texts by writers of colour has a positive impact on students 🧡 Now, 10% of students who take Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Literature study a text by an author of colour. This is *100 times* more students than before the Lit in Colour Pioneers Pilot Programme! ✨ Find out more about the impact Lit in Colour is having >> https://lnkd.in/eaH-H5Yj
