Web App of the Week - Sarah Bonnell School - UK
Web App of the Week is an award for outstanding users of Accessit Library. It’s a place to recognise nice-looking, useful user interfaces and is somewhere to turn to for inspiration.
This week we are focusing in on Sarah Bonnell School’s World Book Day themed Web App. For those readers that don’t know about World Book Day, here is some information about it, taken from their website:
“World Book Day changes lives through a love of books and shared reading. Our mission is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income. We want to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life chances this brings them.”

Like all schools in the United Kingdom, Sarah Bonnell has adapted their library to assist home learning. They’ve subscribed to 3rd party content suppliers such as Wheelers eBooks and set up a new click and delivery service. When asked how Accessit Library helped them with this, Poonampal said:
Accessit Library is truly a whole school resource that enhances digital classrooms, allows parents to make book choices with their children and provides multitudes of reporting options to demonstrate reading progress to the SLT and OFSTED.
