We invite your school to become a member of The Australian Children's Literary Board (ACLB) Download form now

The Australian Children's Literary Board is registered by the Federal Government as a Cultural Organisation. Our aims are to promote children's literacy and run the annual Young Australian Writer's Awards. Being a Non-profit charitable organization we are able to provide Scholarships to students, along with fundraising ventures.

We believe literacy is the single most important determinant of academic success, indeed, lifelong success, for a child. Achieving functional literacy and hopefully much more than that level, means developing a love of reading and showing children how important it is to be able to read properly and well.

The Australian Children's Literary Board will be using the talents of many well-known and respected Australian Children's Authors, who are prepared to donate their expertise in the form of literary improvement programs for children, in ways that will make learning both fun and enjoyable.

We hope that you will agree that your students could benefit, if exposed to the culture of literary enhancement.

Through a School Membership to the Australian Children's Literary Board's Oz Kids In Print young writer's program, your school has access to all the resources of a professional publishing company. click here to Download Membership form now ...

How Will the Young Writers Program Benefit Your School

FOR STUDENTS

• Techniques to show reluctant writers that wrting is fun.
• Inspiration for talented writers in the many opportunities to develop their skills and be published.
• Scholarships and awards for the gifted.

For Teachers

We believe:

• Children need inspiring and accessible models to develop effective writing skills - provided most powerfully by the high quality published work of other young writers .
• Acknowledging children's ideas develops high self-esteem - the essential quality for their success in a changing future.
• Children have unique ways of looking at the world, which inspire and delight all readers when they are preserved in print.
• Engaging in narrative process gives children insights into their own beliefs and values
• A powerful basis for developing their "place in the world".
