All the children are encouraged to read every day for at least 15/20 minutes and, when possible, read aloud to parents/guardians or older siblings and build on comprehension skills by asking and answering questions about the text.
I have noticed lots of children continually reading the same author or genre of books and/or books that are just not challenging them enough. While I'm happy that children have their favourite author/genre, it is SO important that you read a variety of books to expand your ideas and vocabulary, especially useful in our creative writing lessons.
Therefore, I have attached a link for recommended books for year 5 (you can also find lists for other years). There are links to purchase online or you can ask Fabby in the library. I will also purchase some for our class library.
Year 5 book recommendations
Let me know if you decide to try any of them :)
