Our customers say it all for us!
Still not sure? We think our testimonials from happy primary school educators speak for themselves!
I want to email and say that my reading rock boxes are little parcels of joy every quarter!
I wasn’t sure when I first registered and add I work across loads of ages I wasn’t sure which age to pick. However I’ve never been disappointed!
The only time I have been disappointed is when I see another box and wish I had that one instead.
Thank you for my little box of joy! Best money I’ve spent on books.
I am absolutely thrilled with my new subscription to the #RR_books Teacher Book Subscription!
I received my first box today which was beautifully presented and contained two brand new Middle Grade reads. I was especially pleased to see how diverse the chosen books were with queer and BIPOC representation. It felt like a real treat for me and I know my students will love it too, thanks so much.
This is such an amazing service, I love opening my box to see what Heather has chosen. Both boxes I’ve received have had books that I wouldn’t normally choose for myself, but that once I pick up I genuinely can’t put down! My Year 6 class look forward to these new additions to my bookshelves and I always have a waiting list!
It’s a real pick me up to have such thoughtful books chosen for me and packaged so beautifully, along with a little treat, bookmarks and signed bookplates. Seriously folks, if you’re not a subscriber yet, why not?
Frequently asked questions
We’ve tried to answer all your questions below, but if you don’t see an answer to your questions then please fill out an enquiry below.
I’m not a primary school educator, can I still subscribe?
Absolutely! The book subscription is developed with educators such as teachers and teaching assistants in mind and the books we select will fit in with the current curriculum in England, but that doesn’t mean that it’s just for school educators.
We believe that collaboration with parents and guardians is the best way to ensure reading rocks for everyone!
Can I just buy a one-off box as a gift?
Absolutely! We have recently introduced a subscription e-giftcard you can choose to gift from one month to a whole year’s worth of Reading Rocks boxes. You’ll be able to provide the lucky person with a code that they can enter at checkout to redeem their free box(es).
Can I choose the books?
Here at Reading Rocks we work really hard to bring you a carefully curated box every other month. We get the latest releases hot off the press, sometimes even before they hit the shelves. For this reason we like to keep the book selections a mystery for our subscribers – it all adds to the excitement of receiving a mystery package.
If you’re looking for a book selection curated specifically to your school’s needs, we’d be happy to help though. Just email us at [email protected]
When will you take payment?
We will take payment on (or around)the 6th of every other month (Sept, Nov, Jan, Mar, May, July). When you sign up you will be informed when the first payment will be taken (everyone pays on the same date).
If you need to check when the next payment will come out, check under ‘Subscriptions’ on your Account page.
When can I expect delivery?
You’ll get delivery by the end of the payment month. So if you paid on the 6th March, delivery will be with you by the end of the month.
Keep an eye out on Social Media for news on when the boxes go out. Unfortunately, we can’t give an exact date as some of the books are brand spanking new, so we have to wait for the publishers to dispatch them.
My box hasn't arrived
We’re sorry to hear that. We dispatch the boxes via Royal Mail tracked postage, so we will be able to check what’s happened.
Please don’t contact us until the end of the month to check where your box is as sometimes it does take a week for the boxes to arrive and even if you have one box but are still waiting for another that is normal.
Please contact us on [email protected] from the first of the month and we’ll check the tracking information for you 🙂
Can I cancel my subscription?
We’ve been working hard at the Reading Rocks HQ to launch an all new website with lots of new functionality. We’d be sad to see you go, but we’re really pleased to say that you can now cancel your subscription directly on our website! Just log into your account, navigate to the ‘Subscriptions’ section and select the subscription you wish to cancel.
Now find the ‘Actions’ section and click the cancel button.
If you’ve already made a payment for the next subscription box when you do this, you’ll receive that box as normal, then your subscription will expire.
You’ll be able to access the members area until the end of that subscription period.
For example, if you pay for a box on 6th March 2022 and cancel on 12th March 2022 you’ll get your March box and still have access to the members area and teaching resoures until 5th May.
Can I change my subscription?
Absolutely! We’ve been working hard at the Reading Rocks HQ to launch an all-new website with lots of new functionality. We’re pleased to say that you can now switch between our different subscriptions directly on our website.
Follow the steps below to make the swap! Very useful if you have a new year group this year 🙂
