Reading Statement 

KS2 and KS3 Reading Lists and Supporting Your Child with Reading at Home

The ability to read is necessary to ensure success and to make connections in all other curriculum areas, and is a vital tool in our quest to know about and investigate the world around us. We encourage students to visit our school library to explore new books and renew their library loans to ensure they are constantly reading books which interest them and foster a love of reading.

The links below and the attached PDF provide reading lists for KS2 and KS3 pupils and we hope that this will help parents choose books (many of which are available in our school library) with their children which are engaging and enjoyable to read at home together. We would encourage parents to sit and listen to their children read for 10 minutes every day. A guide to this is also attached.
