How Hook into Books™ is nurturing a love of reading, one story at a time!

Having resources in the home that support language and literacy development has been closely linked to the development of early language and literacy skills. Such resources include books, magazines, writing materials, literacy toys, and digital resources.
Research suggests that if a child has more than 30 books in the home, this significantly enhances expressive vocabulary. Book dissemination programs represent one widely utilised approach to improving the home literacy environment.
At Life Without Barriers, we are thrilled to be able to support our community to bring more books into their homes through the Life Without Barriers Book Packs!
Each pack contains a book, self-selected by your child or young person, and other book-ish things! What better way to nurture reading and enhance literacy skills than to get books into the hands of our community?
Our Book Packs represent literacy connection for our community, and inclusion for all who experience them.

How it works
If you’re a part of Life Without Barriers it's easy to access our Book Packs. Simply request a Book Pack.
Step 1 - With your child, select a book from our Hook into Books 2025 Book List.
Step 2 - Simply request a Book Pack by selecting your home state below, and filling in the form to tell us your child’s name, postage details, and their book of choice.
Delivery times are expected between 4-8 weeks after submitting your order.
To avoid double-ups, we ask that if you are ordering for a child or young person, please check that their carer or case manager hasn’t already ordered for them.
Bonus:
Host an event during Hook into Books™, and we’ll send you some great resources to use to promote literacy in your community!
Download a great invite template to promote your event!
Examples include carer morning teas and children’s story time.
Our Life Without Barriers Book Packs have brought joy and excitement to many children and young people across Australia, and we're thrilled to continue spreading the joy of reading again this year!
