Engel scale rating Aimed at people at the early stage of their faith journey Open the Book presents the Bible in primary schools in an accessible and enjoyable way, which helps schools meet their statutory collective worship obligations. We equip, encourage and enable volunteers from churches to deliver good quality assemblies. Open the Book is a [three-year rolling programme](https://www.biblesociety.org.uk/get-involved/open-the-book/otb-about-us/three-year-rolling-programme/) of themed and dramatised storytelling at no charge to primary schools. Teams of volunteers throughout the country use drama, mime, props, costume – and even the children and staff themselves – to present the Bible stories in lively and informative ways.
