June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate the vibrant history, culture, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a perfect opportunity to foster values of inclusivity, diversity, acceptance, and equality in the classroom. At BookLife, we offer a collection of books and free resources to help you educate and inspire your pupils about Pride. Plus, all the books listed below are available at 50% off with Match Funding, but hurry—Match Funding ends for good on July 19, 2024.
PRIDE In (KS2)
Our award-winning PRIDE In series, produced and published by BookLife Publishing, explores influential individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community who have fought for change, acceptance, or have excelled in their field despite resistance. The series includes four titles: Pride in the Arts, Pride in Change, Pride in Sport, and Pride in STEM. Check out the full series here.
Understanding Your Gender (KS1 & KS2)
We offer two book packs about gender for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils. These packs aim to reduce stigmas around gender and identity, helping children understand why some peers may not relate to gender stereotypes. Each pack includes five titles. Learn more about Understanding Your Gender KS1 and KS2.
LGBT Stories (KS3)
LGBT Stories for Key Stage 3 pupils feature more mature narratives that explore relationships, gender, and identity, helping students gain a better understanding of themselves and their peers. The collection includes ten titles, including Heartstopper, which was adapted into a popular Netflix series. See all the titles included and more information here.
Free Pride Month Resources
To complement the books, we offer a collection of free Pride Month resources, including digital posters, bookmarks, and bunting themed around PRIDE In, as well as other posters and activities celebrating Pride. Check out all of our Free Pride Month Resources here.
