Pupils from Brimrod Primary School with books from the vending machine
A primary school in Rochdale has installed book vending machines to encourage reading amongst children.
Brimrod Primary has added two machines in their library and school foyer, with children able to buy the books using tokens earned through completing reading challenges at school and at home.
These include drawing favourite parts of a book, writing a blurb for a book or even completing a fact file about a location in which a book is set.
The vending machines include books requested by the children in surveys and feature a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books from a plethora of authors.
Head boy, Deacon said: “I think they are good because they are encouraging our children to read more books.”
Head girl, Meryem said: “They are an extremely fun way to get children to read, the reading challenges help to encourage more children to read even more books in order to get books from the vending machines.”
