Good Books to Read
As a school we always try our best to advocate a life of reading. We all have experiences of our favourite books when we were young and we understand that books are a portal into a world of wonder. This is why children learning to read is one of the most important skills they can learn. We have put together some books that are classics for all age ranges which might be of use to you when trying to find books that your child might like. I am sure you might recognise a few!
They are placed in age ranges to make it easier to search but this is only a guide.
