Reading for Pleasure

 

Reading for Pleasure is at the heart of what we stand for at Stockham Primary School 

We know how powerful it can be to get the right book into the hands of the right reader at the right time, so we’ve put together a wealth of resources to support book selection for reading for pleasure among primary school aged children.

Best Books for Each Year Primary Group

Each of our Year Group Recommended Reads lists contains 50 books specially picked out for reading for pleasure in each primary year group, from Preschool to Year 6. The lists are designed to provide recommendations of age-appropriate and accessible books across a range of genres and styles.

When we put together each list, we look for a balance across different genres and styles. Some children naturally navigate towards non-fiction, while others find graphic novels or poetry the most enjoyable forms to pick up and read. Each list contains a balance of age-appropriate fiction, picturebooks, non-fiction, poetry and graphic novels, with a handful of novelty or tactile books added in too. We’ve also aimed to collate lists that cater for different reading styles, interest levels, publication dates (you’ll find some true golden oldies as well as brand new titles on each list) and also books that contain a diversity of characters and settings. This way, using the lists we can offer children access to a wealth of quality reading choices to enjoy.
