How do we foster young reviewers and spark the joy of criticism from a young age? The Hooked on Books program has been running since 2016 and has been adopted this week by Read NZ Te Pou Muramura.
The online platform encourages young readers to express their views on what they're reading in effort to create a young reviewing culture in Aotearoa and provide criticism of children's and young adult literature from their intended audience.
Melissa Wastney from Read NZ joins us to explain why they've picked it up and what the future of the program looks like.
