Our first delivery contained four books (specially chosen to reflect Tristan's age and reading ability) plus several Reading Chest branded goodies, including a sticker chart with stickers, a bookmark and a red book bag. The bag was great at keeping the borrowed books together and separate from our personal book collection.
It was truly easy to return the books: you just place them in the prepaid envelope (included when the books are first delivered) and wait a few days for new books to arrive!
We swapped books several times over the two month period, and all the books arrived in a timely manner, and in immaculate condition. As the books are sent in an envelope, the postman delivers them straight via your letterbox.
This reading scheme is a fantastic way to boost and encourage your children to read more, and a great supplement to school homework. The sticker chart inspired Tristan to read more, and he was always very excited when waiting for new books to arrive!
