Sheels Book Banding App was built to solve a real problem in UK primary schools — finding the right book at the right level, quickly and easily.
With over 10,000 books banded to the UK reading level framework, the app gives teachers instant access to a comprehensive, regularly updated database. Search by title, author or ISBN, filter by band colour or book type, and find the perfect match for every reader in seconds.
Unlike traditional app-based tools, Sheels Book Banding App is fully web-based — meaning no downloads, no installations, and no device restrictions. Any teacher in your school can log in from any browser, whether that's a laptop in the classroom, a tablet in the library, or a phone at home.
If a book isn't in the database yet, teachers can submit a request directly through the app and it will be added.
Built on the UK book banding framework and aligned to National Curriculum levels, Sheels Book Banding App is the trusted tool for primary schools who want to put the right books in the right hands — every time.
Whole-school access from just £1.23 a day.
