Reading suggestions

We have a selection of reading lists and book guides in the Library to help pupils when choosing something new to read which suit all ages, interests and abilities. 
We can also recommend the following reading website:

• The Booktrust website (http://www.booktrust.org.uk).

As well as some really useful sections on how to read aloud to children and reluctant readers, the teen section has lots of useful information on the best new reads, authors, writing book reviews and a great book finder tool.

• The Lovereading4kids website (http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk).

This is a website divided helpfully into age ranges. You can download extracts from featured books.  It also has a section on dyslexia friendly books.
