BFOE | Beta Reader Programme
We are inviting beta readers, parents and teachers to read The Burning Mountain and share honest feedback through three online assessment forms. In return, you will receive a complimentary two-year subscription to the BFOE parent / teacher platform when it launches later this year.
Open until 2026-06-30 · …Pick up The Burning Mountain on Amazon as paperback, Kindle or audiobook. Spend a week or two with it the way the children will.
Three online assessment forms, one each for young readers, parents and teachers. Pick whichever fits — or fill in more than one for the same household.
Honest, specific feedback is what helps most. The forms take ten to twenty minutes depending on which one you pick.
You receive an immediate confirmation email. When the BFOE parent / teacher platform launches later this year, we email you the activation link for your two-year complimentary subscription.
Each form is tuned to its audience. Read it as a child, a parent reading alongside a child, or as a teacher thinking about classroom use. Multiple submissions from one household are welcome — we look at each one separately.
About 10 minutes · ages 8 to 11
A friendly form for the child who read the book. We ask which characters stood out, which moments worked, what would have made it better.
Start the reader form For parents and guardiansAbout 15 minutes
A more detailed form for the adult who read with — or alongside — the child. Reading-level fit, language concerns, what felt off, what worked.
Start the parent form For teachers and educatorsAbout 20 minutes
For classroom teachers thinking about curriculum fit, age-appropriateness, and what supporting materials would actually be useful in a classroom.
Start the teacher formWe are asking for honest, specific feedback on a book that exists, and on supporting resources we are still building. Feedback we can act on is more valuable than feedback that is uniformly positive. Tell us where it lost you. Tell us where it dragged. Tell us if a character felt flat.
We are promising a two-year complimentary subscription to the BFOE parent / teacher platform once it launches later this year. The platform will house the Companion Lesson Packs, activity sheets and bonus content tied to each book and to our YouTube series. Your two years begin the day the platform opens, not the day you submit — so an early submitter and a late submitter receive the same window.
We will email you a confirmation immediately after you submit, and a second email with your activation link when the platform launches. If you ever want your submission deleted, reply to either email and we remove it.
