I love reading and really want the children to experience this too. I know that sometimes it is tricky to find books that they like so I have shared some ideas below. I hope that the children will let me know books that they have liked too so that I can share them on here.
Please read this document about reading at home, to give you some ideas of how to encourage a ‘love of reading’ at home. Reading for Pleasure at home
I find these two websites good for looking for book ideas:
https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/ is a great website where you can look for books using age range. I find this often helps to choose appropriate books. You can read an extract from them too. https://www.booksfortopics.com/key-stage-book-lists is also a good website where you can choose books by age and topic.
- This is another useful link. It gives you ideas of books that are similar to well known authors, e.g. David Walliams. https://www.booksfortopics.com/branching-out?fbclid=IwAR0bWufQputzM2y5gMblUmLuy4XTbgb0v1CMP_QQrZ1dge4UvhdYUHh4T1I
The books below have been recommended by previous Year 6 children and Year 6 teachers. I have not read many of these books, so obviously, I recommend you find out a little bit more about each book/series before you buy them, in case you don’t think they are appropriate for your child.
