The Virtual School Library has been developed by the Oak National Academy in partnership with the National Literacy Trust.

Every week a popular children's author or illustrator will provide children with free books, exclusive videos and their top three recommended reads.

The first 'Author of the Week' is Jacqueline Wilson, and her free book to read online is Tracy Beaker.

There are also downloadable activities and an accompanying video from Jacqueline Wilson.

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.
