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.
