Following the success of the KS1 panel recruitment and book reviewing Pearson are now looking to recruit a total of 15 Mumsnetters with a child aged 8-11 who are willing to review books from the Pearson range with their child.
To take part you need to:
~ live in the UK
~ have a child aged from 8-11 - in KS2/P4-P7 (If you have more than one child aged 8-11 please choose one child to take part in this review with)
~ be willing to review (and keep!) up to 3 packs of books before the end of the year to review (this might go into Jan)
You'll be asked to take a proper look at the pack, read the books with your child, maybe get together with a group of mums to see what they think, and then submit your review on a special review thread on Talk. Panellists will be asked to submit their reviews within 2 weeks of receiving their review packs. You must review each book pack you receive. If you want to opt out of the project you can at any stage by emailing MNHQ.
If you are selected to take part, MN will email you to let you know. We will then pass on your name, age and gender of your child, and address details to Pearson for them to dispatch your books.
Each panellist will be able to keep the packs they review. Pack values vary from around £7.00 to around £30.00 and contain up to 24 titles. As a thank you for taking part there will be a monthly prize draw (on the last day of each month) for all those who have submitted a review in that month. The prize each month will be £50 of John Lewis vouchers.
The reviews will be used by Pearson to help promote the books to other Mumsnetters ? they will link to the feedback thread from the book shop pages and will feature the reviews you send in on the site. Pearson also say "we want the reviews to help us refine and improve our selection of packs for the shop, so if a particular programme is receiving rave reviews, we'll add more titles into the shop and if something isn't being received well, we'll use this feedback to refine our offering."
So if you and your child would like to take part please add your details here
The first packs will be sent out in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks MNHQ
