Our children are enthuasistic readers who love recommending books to others!
Our School Librarians support pupils to choose books that they think they will enjoy based upon their ability and interests. All pupils regularly visit the library and also choose books for every class' reading nook.
Teachers really take an interest in what ignites their class' imaginations and tailor their class book choices accordingly. Teachers, advised by the English Leader, also ensure that they have an up to date knowledge of new authors, texts and national intiatives so that they can make fresh recommendations that work for individual tastes and abilities, including graphic novels, poetry and non-fiction texts.
READING AT HOME
We encourage children to read as much as possible, both at home and in school.
If you're looking for a place to start, we have put together a recommended reading list for each year group across the school. This list is only intended to be a guide. The list covers a range of genres and has been collated from a number of sources including: teachers own recommendations, the National Literacy Strategy’s recommended texts, reading lists suggested by other schools and the National Literacy Trust’s website.
Some of the texts are more challenging than others and care should be taken when choosing those which your child might enjoy.
Please ensure reading is a pleasurable experience for you and your child.
Your child is never too old to have stories read to them!
