Virtual Book a Week - Free in Lockdown
Children in England will be able to access books online free during school closures via a virtual library.
Internet classroom Oak National Academy created the library after schools moved to remote learning for the majority of pupils until February half-term.
Formed with The National Literacy Trust, the library will provide a book a week from its author of the week.
The aim is to increase young readers' access to e-books and audiobooks, particularly the most disadvantaged.
Oak National Academy is funded by the Department for Education and has provided more than 28 million lessons since the start of the school term on 4 January.
