Writing

We are joining once again with the National Literacy Trust to bring you another exciting challenge and live event at 9.30am on Thursday 2 March to celebrate World Book Day 2023! The quiz will feature two rounds of questions (one football-themed, one reading-themed) pitched by your footballing heroes and our writer pals. And we’re challenging you to find all the juicy facts and stats about your favourite team or player.

Don’t forget to share your completed challenge with us by sharing them on @PLCommunities using #PLPrimaryStars or emailing them to PLPrimaryStars@premierleague.com.
